Airport Immigration Lines & Airline tickets

[shooshman]

I am just curious about 2 things after getting an OCI card.

a) Can we use the Indian Citizens line at the airport immigration?

b) Buy tickets for domestic travel as indian citizens. I believe the fare is more for non-citizens?

Anyone been there recently with a OCI card?

I have heard that there is a separate counter for OCI folks atleast at Mumbai Airport. For domestic tickets for travel inside India, there is no reason why you should not be able to get it at the same price as Indian Citizen unless you are talking about the connecting flights for International travel.

Disparity in fares

When you look at fares fir indian residents vs outside india for local travel - ex. blr-hyd etc. the fatres in USd are different from INR

I dont believe that has anything do with being an Indian citizen or 'foreigner'. That may even apply to NRI's etc...

In any case, as far as fares are concerned, as an OCI - you should be treated on par with Indian citizens, especially for domestic travel within India. You shouldn't have to pay more, if you buy the tickets in India.
