Help Visa cancellation

Help! Please can you help me at all? I was due to fly on Air India on 22 March from Mumbai to Kochi but I understand my Visa has been suspended until 15 April due to the Coronavirus. Does anybody know whether I can reschedule or cancel my flight and get my money back? Obviously I will be unable to enter the country. Many thanks

Given that the notice was only issued today, I would wait until tomorrow and call AI. Before calling you should determine what it is that you want. If it is a new date, then ask for a change. If it is a refund, ask for that.

when were you supposed to fly into india????is the 22nd march flight part of the same or different ticket????

give it a couple of days before you call ai....i called them this morning to cancel some upcoming travel & was on hold for a couple of hours before i get through....they are overwhelmed with the number of calls coming their way & the restrictions imposed are too new right now for them to figure out how to react....

Thank you I have rebooked my BA flight for 18 April (fingers crossed!) and so will look to rebook the AI flight to 19th. Many thanks to all one can only hope it works to keep Coronavirus out of India

I am sad! Sometimes you have to feel positive and I have had a cp year and was looking forward to a holiday... so I chose to rebook and if I have to change things again then so be it
