if i use yatra will it affect my fare code/ mileage earning?

It shouldn't make any difference

No check-in bag.
Yes, both arriving then departing immigration. Do note that i go on e-Visa lane that has no Q.

If you are doing SQ turnaround, IMO do not check in any bag as you may not have much time to collect.

Thanks. I have not been to India at all. So, the eVisa lanes for both reaching landside and airside were empty? Are there priority lanes for premium class passengers?

eVisa lane is most of the time quite empty. No priority lanes, there are prio lanes for normal visa (zero wait).

Is there a faster security check lane for premium passengers at AMD?

Was my first time in India too
eVisa lane on arrival/airside, you will see it down the escalator, very small and simple airport.

landside no eVisa/premium lane. Only few immigration. No Q when i cleared. Don't worry! You have plenty time to wait around still & thats if you have no checked bag.

Same seat type as the A350-900 in the same 1+2+1 layout.

By when do I have to get this ticketed? I still need some time to stitch up my travel schedules for the rest of 2018 and Q1 2019. Thanks.

So a same flight/day turnaround is doable at AMD.
Lounge at AMD (plaza premium) is closed. SGD20 in-flight voucher is given.
Do you need to pass immigration? Does the staff in Singapore knows you are doing turn around? I am thinking to do the same. SQ530 on eco and SQ531 on biz on one trip and the opposite on the return.

just saw your post #98 . so you have no issue with immigration to do turn around?

Any idea if I can simply throw away the final SIN-AMD leg if I buy round trip?

you have to book a stopover in SIN if you have a checked baggage and want to finish your trip there
