EK-Interlining agreements
Is there are link to a list.
Reason-flying in/out of BOM with EK and need to choose an internal flight to/from GOI.Available flights include AI,JET etc and it would be great to have luggage checked through,even though I would be on separate ticketing.Tried using multi -destination booking with EK but using code share internal flights puts $900+ on the fare for 2xinternal 50 minute flights!
thanks

There is no need to do "multi destination".
Just select GOI as your destination, and you will be presented with reasonably-priced itineraries with the last sector (from BOM or BLR) on Air India flights.
Beware that most airlines will refuse to interline bags across separate tickets.
Although it is technically possible in many cases, interlining is increasingly only done when a) the airlines are members of the same alliance [not the case here] and/or b) the travel was all booked on one ticket.
I have no experience of asking Emirates to interline on to a different ticket. However, you should be prudent and allow enough time between tickets just in case you are unlucky and/or outright refused having bags interline across 2 tickets.

I haven't been to BOM since the new terminal came into use but if the procedure is still the same you will have to collect your bags in BOM and clear customs and then recheck them to GOI (I did this QR to AI two years ago).
That being said, EK has interlined bags for me when transiting internationally on NBO-DXB-DME-IAH with EK and SQ and NBO-DXB-LHR-JFK with EK and VS.

Thanks for that it comes up with some acceptable prices/connections even though the best has a daylight return via backtracking via MAA!
But
If I try to book these from the UK with a stopover in DXB both ways the flights do not come up, only a couple of overnight options from the sub continent to DXB.
Maybe I should chat on the help line.... or perhaps not?

AI would not check my bag onto EK the other day at VTZ (VTZ-BOM-DXB-IAH). Had to reclaim the bag at BOM and go upstairs to EK check in, although the process was very quick. Was planning on asking EK to check the bag onto AI at BOM in the other direction but ended up having an overnight stopover in BOM, so no data point to share EK to AI
