There is not room in my itinerary for problems. But good point with the Visa. I checked and a transit Visa for India is US$16 here in Australia.

KA will have flts from BLR by June. All in all, if you have mechanical or other problems, BOM will give you a large number of options.

On the other hand, CMB usually has much lighter load factors than BOM or DEL.
I am currently holding seats to BOM and KHI. DEL is not an option as it is less than 2400 miles.

Is there any difference between the flights in terms of comfort or service?
