No baggage needs to be collected in Mumbai and taken thru customs. You can put the liquor in the checked luggage at that point.

Thanks for reply.
what is the limit of liquor i can take from international (i heard limit is 2 liters) and in domestic it will me (6 liters) is it true.
in my check in baggage there will be 750 ML (2 bottles), while moving to domestic can i buy one more 1L and check in my baggage ?.

Thanks for reply.

i am carrying 750 ML two bottles from canada in checkin baggage, while moving to domestic in india (mumbai) can i buy one more bottle and check in

Yes There is a rather large duty free store just after immigration you have to walk thru before getting to your luggage.you can easily repack and then go thru customs. Indian customs is not really after liquor so they won't bother you.

Note the duty free stores in India are not really cheap even compared to retail in the U.S. or Europe.

keep in mind that if you buy the bottles in bom then you won't be allowed to carry them as hand luggage for your flight to hyd....

Total limit is 2 ltrs per passenger.

AirIndia - Make Us an Offer for Biz Class upgrade. How much is good?
 

Got a BOM - LHR leg in economy coming up on AIr India and they just sent an email offering a biz class upgrade. The way it works is that I have to put in an offer and if it gets accepted I get the upgrade. If it doesn't, I keep my original seat.

I'm flying on a United mileage ticket and I'm not sure how much would have a decent chance of securing the upgrade. Any data points I can benchmark against? I was thinking somewhere between $250-500 might be good for a 10 hour flight.

if i remember correctly, ai used to charge around $1k to upgrade from economy to business on this route....

Bid the minimum possible. They will give you the Upgrade before they Upgrade someone for free.

Thanks... I ended up not bidding as the minimum bid was around $500
