About staying in layover [duplicate]

I will travel from Delhi to Canada. In way my flight there's a layover in Mumbai for 22 hrs. Can I stay in a hotel outside of the airport?

Second thing: will I receive my checked in luggage in Mumbai or will it stay in the sorting system in the airport?

Best Answer

Since New Delhi and Mumbai are both in India, that portion of the flight will be domestic. Assume that most passengers of this domestic flight will also be leaving the airport.

You should ask the Airline to get a reliable answer about your luggage. The longer the layover, the less likly such a transfer of luggage will take place. It also depends on how the whole trip was booked. If you booked both flights separately, assume that you must pick up your bags in Mumbai.

Do I have to check in twice if I have a layover?

In general, if you're on a domestic flight, once you land for your layover, you'll pass through a transfer area that will take you to the gate for your next flight without having to check in again. Your bags will automatically pass through to the next flight without you having to collect them.

Do you stay on the same plane during a layover?

Do you stay on the plane for a layover? In most cases, you'll have to switch to another plane, but sometimes (rarely) if the plane you are on is continuing to your next destination, you'll stay in your seat.

What happens if you leave during a layover?

Yes, you can leave the airport during domestic layovers. For instance, if you're a US citizen and have a layover within the country, it is legal and safe to leave the airport. Be aware that you'll probably be getting two boarding passes if the domestic layover is more than an hour.

What happens to luggage during layover?

Normally, when layover flights are booked with the same airline, your baggage will be automatically transferred through to your final destination. However, if the two flights are with different airlines, you may have to claim and re-check your baggage during your layover.
