Indirect route from India

[captainarabiia]

DME, although all airports should have the facility. Not sure if you have to exit immigration to do it. I stayed in Russia for some time and traveled a bit. Final route was India, Russia, Austria, UK, Canada. After Russia route was longer as I got Russia to Canada tickets free with points.

Pretty long route there.

Pretty long route there. There are 1 hop flights from Russia which you can take too. I took longer route as it was free for me and I entered London for sightseeing for a day at layover. Total cost for flights was around 30k. Without last leg being free+picking 1 hop from Russia it should be 50-60k.

Travel guide was written Aug 15 or earlier. Its already old information. The latest news was released Aug 19. Latest information takes precedence.

"Due to restrictions in place by the Indian authorities, guests will only be able to transit to destinations in Africa until further notice. "

This is a restriction placed by India. The travel bubble info is available here as well, https://www.civilaviation.gov.in/en/about-air-transport-bubbles
However, I don't know if Etihad will actually implement this rule or unknowingly break it. I will trust this route only after someone flies to Canada using this.

did see some you tube vlogs who went via this route

Yea, but I can’t find flights before 21 Sep on the Etihad website. Also they cancelled flights especially from New Delhi. All the students who went via this route from India departed from other airports like Hyderabad or Kochi.

Why is no one considering Dublin airport for transiting? They have a Covid testing center at airport, including Rapid antigen test that takes just 1 hour - https://www.dublinairport.com/covid-19/pre-departure-covid-19-testing

I am seeing flights from India-UK (London)-Dublin-Toronto. Flights cost about 35,000 rupees and it can be booked on British Airways. If anyone has any insight about this route, please guide.

And also because Dublin airport closes overnight , so you can’t be at the airport after 10 pm or something

Seriously?! Even an airport in some hick town functions round the clock, much less that of a national capital city!

Hi i have a flight booked via the same route. When it comes to rtpcr test, is it necessary to take one at the abu dhabi airpot as well? or is the one taken at maldives enough? Any issues you found out in this route

No 1 test is enough, haven't found any issue yet
