Vistara: check in at gate

Heya,

I am flying via Air Canada to DEL, then flying to KTM via Vistara.

we are unable to leave the transit area - I was wondering if I can check in at the gate for the vistara flight? (Unable to check in online as we need visa info, but we will be doing visa on arrival at the Kathmandu airport)

edit: we have no checked luggage to worry about

You can check-in at the Vistara desk in the transfer area. How much time do you have between flights? The Vistara counter will not be operational all the time so you may have to wait in the transfer area till the Vistara agents show up.

If it's on one ticket AC will provide you with a BP when you checkin. If not you can collect it at the transfer desk. Even if you have a BP you have to get the infamous 'DT' marked/scribbled on your boarding pass by a vistara agent, else security won't allow you to enter the departure concourse.
