There must be a gap of at least two months between visits to India.
Any person visiting the country within two months of the previous visit must, in advance of travel, obtain special permission from a local Mission Post or Embassy.

Whenever possible we will inform you if the flight is being operated by another carrier. The checkin details at the airport will usually detail all the flight numbers a flight holds including the codeshare ones.
