BA allowance is 3 pcs with the elite baggage allowance or as a part of ticket 3?

Their standard Business allowance is 3PC @ 32 kg each. Elite is one extra but I won't need that many.

So there is a transfer desk at the International terminal only where we can drop off the bags? Do they have check in counters there in case BA refuse to tag luggage to DEL?

Then how should I get to domestic airport after this?

yes. there is a transfer desk at intl terminal where u can drop off the bags. if it is the same ticket, i don't see a reason why they won't tag the bags all the way through, but anyways, this is your last chance to stuff the duty free liquor if any in the main bags. the check in desk and transfer bags.. same thing!

domestic transfer, they can put you on the transfer shuttle which is every 30 mins. or, you can choose to take a cab after exiting the airport. if u r not rushed, take the shuttle.

Anyone know what this about?

In a major move to expand international air travel out of India, the Civil Aviation Ministry on Friday approved traffic rights for the summer and winter season of 2013 in one go, granting new rights to Indian carriers to fly to several new destinations across the globe.

The new cities include Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Sydney, Melbourne, Nairobi, Al Najaf (Iraq), Moscow, Zurich, Macau, Tashkent and Ho Chi Minh City.

Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh also directed holding of fresh bilateral negotiations to enhance air traffic rights with countries like those in the Gulf and Southeast Asia, with whom the existing rights have almost got exhausted, an official spokesperson said.

These countries include Singapore, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iraq, Macao and Afghanistan. Air India and its no-frill subsidiary Air India Express have got their number of flights each week enhanced from 471 in 2012 summer to 650 in 2013 summer and from 577 in 2012 winter to 691 in the same season next year.

Air India has also got the rights for the first time to fly on sectors like Delhi-Rome-Madrid/Barcelona, Delhi-Moscow, Delhi-Sydney/Melbourne, Mumbai-Nairobi and Mumbai-Al Najaf.

Similarly, Jet Airways has been given the rights to operate on routes like Mumbai-Jakarta, Delhi-Barcelona, Mumbai-Zurich, Delhi-Tashkent and Mumbai-Ho Chi Minh City.

The number of its weekly flights have gone up from 417 in 2012 summer to 539 in 2013 and 497 this winter to 602 in 2013. No-frill carriers IndiGo and SpiceJet have also got enhanced number of flights, with the latter being allowed to fly on Lucknow-Al Najaf, Varanasi-Al Najaf, Delhi-Macau and Delhi-Ho Chi Minh City.

While welcoming the move, industry sources it was an unprecedented measure as flight schedules for winter and summer seasons have so far been approved each year and not in one go.

Anyone know if I can buy a mobile hotspot in delhi, using any of the local networks? (I have Vodafone and Airtel India mobile SIM's if that makes a difference...)

I am not looking for a "dongle" to plug into a laptop USB, but instead need a self standing hotspot (like http://www.verizonwireless.com/mobile-hotspots-1.shtml ) which allows me to have a roaming wifi network that I can use on multiple devices like iPad, iPhone, laptop etc.

Any help appreciated! Especially with recommendations of where to buy in Gurgaon or Delhi.

You'll probably have to go to a showroom to pick one up.

Yes indeed! :o And many thanks! :D

Now, any idea about tariffs and whether this is prepaid or postpaid? Unlimited data options? I did search the website, and it shows pricing for Handset, tablet and USB stick. Would USB stick pricing apply here or am I missing something?

AJ, just buy a mifi from Huawei (E560, E586, etc) stateside and stick a local simcard in it when you land in India. The Vodafone/Reliance ones you buy in India usually have a sim lock in them (besides being overpriced).

Thanks Oliver. I didn't even realize this was an option. I always thought the mifi's bought in the US would not be compatible with the local India SIM's. Guess I really am a technophobe!
