@datumnd @airindia what is your official status on this ?

@airindiain I studied that but no where it says six month passport validity.. but airport air India staff is not allowing us to board the plane. airindia.in/u-sticker-visa…

@airindiain Hello - we are US citizen, traveling to India. have valid OCI. But our US passport is valid for 3 months. Is this ok to travel to India? I’ve talked to airport, embassy, air India travel agents and there are different answers. @airindiain @PMOIndia please help

@airindia @datumnd Kumar - were you able to travel ?

@datumnd Please help us with your booking details via DM for us to check and forward it to the concerned airport team to look into this.

@cpparekh @IndianEmbassyUS @cpparekh - did you manage to travel ? Is the validity rule applicable for OCI holders ?

@IndianEmbassyUS My son is 6 years old and US Citizen. He has OCI too. his passport his expiring Nov 2023 and we are planning to travel India from July - August. does 6 month passport validity rule still apply or he can travel without any issue? does airline stop them boarding?

@TusharAgrawal99 @HCI_London Tushar - did you manage to travel without any issues ? What was your airline ?

@HCI_London I am an OCI holder with British passport validity of around 3.5 months. I have a personal emergency and have to visit Mumbai for a week, can i travel using my OCI & passport ?

@Pippa_jam So you completed your degree 5.5 years ago and since then working as a Junior doctor ? I assume you are working on to train a specialist as well?

@VirginAtlantic That is not getting me any attention, which is why I requested you to escalate it and then you asked me to provide you reference. How can I send you reference without revealing it to everyone in twitter? Shall I share my emailid which you can use as a reference for escalation

@akapoo11 We sincerely regret the delay Amish & request if we could have your refunds reference so we are able to escalate it. ^HS

@VirginAtlantic I have already contacted your customer service who raised it with your refunds Team who in turn has not responded yet. Query was raised on 22-Dec-2022. How long do I need to wait for before someone from refunds Team tells me that they are working on it?

@VirginAtlantic - could someone check my refund status please ? It has been almost 3 weeks but no response from your refunds team

@airindiain have you stopped doing direct flights between London Heathrow and Amritsar as I don’t see any during July/August 2023?

@iRobot _ How can I cancel my order, placed at irobot.co.uk?

@grantshapps Can the UK pl. follow positive steps taken by other EU/EEA countries in allowing "fully vaccinated" travellers from Red List countries without hotel quarantine. Particularly integral for physical & mental health of students!

@grantshapps Try easing the unnecessary hotel quarantine for UK citizens returning from the UAE to see their families. £1750 to stay in really poor quality hotels, treated like prisoners. While the UK is a free for all with rapidly increasing cases.. so wrong !

Since travel rules for amber list country is changed in UK, I request @MEAIndia @DrSJaishankar to work with UK government to allow Indians who are fully vaccinated to get home quarantine option instead of hotel quarantine which adds additional financial overhead.

@grantshapps Can you bring me home too..UK citizen working in the UAE, fully vaccinated but can’t come home without 10 days in a hotel, and then another 7 days in the UAE on return, 17 days quarantine for a trip home..surely this must be looked at ! At least Wembley will be full.

@QuarantineHot @empfindlich1 @lisataljard @ukhomeoffice @UKHomeSecretary @Marriott Obviously @empfindlich1 does not care. People don’t understand that there could be genuine reasons to travel.

@empfindlich1 @lisataljard @ukhomeoffice @UKHomeSecretary @Marriott And what about the people who have loved one in hospital. I had to travel to Argentina last notice because my dad was in coma! It’s not holidays.

Thread: So @ukhomeoffice @UKHomeSecretary - thought you might like to hear this. An 80-year-old UK citizen (my dad) is on day 6 of a hotel quarantine stay at the Courtyard @Marriott at Gatwick: cost £2400. Both him and my mom have been vaccinated. Two negative Covid tests. /1

The worst service from @TravelCTM_UK which is the contracted company hired by @DHSCgovuk to arrange covid tests and quarantine hotels. Getting any kind of acceptable service is like pulling teeth.
