JFK-HYD through check-in?
Howdy! the good folks at IndiaMike.
I will be travelling from JFK to Delhi (16:45 arr) by AirIndia and connecting onto Hyderabad(19:30 dep) by Indian Airlines. What concerns me is that I only have 2 hrs 45 min transit time between the international and domestic terminals. Is that sufficient? I might have a good shot if the tickets and baggage are through checked in from JFK-HYD. If not do you have to lug your baggage to the other terminal? Have a similar quandry on the way back. Have a 2 hr 30 min transit at Mumbai. Would I be able to get boarding passes to JFK right from Hyderabad. Dont look forward in standing in queues ![]() Thanks for any advise. |

Nope. You have to go to the other terminal to check in, and clear immigration and customs first.
I last travelled like this about two years ago; Indian Airlines had a counter at the international terminal, where you could check in and handover the baggage after you had cleared it through customs. Maybe somebody can confirm that. 2hrs 45 mins is enough, btw, even if you had to lug your baggage. Use the free inter terminal bus service. And, nope for the return, too. You will have to take the baggage to international from domestic for check in. Air India has flights via Bombay and London from Hyd to JFK. If you had booked on one of those, you could check through both ways. |
