If possible, please buy refundable tickets, this is just a precaution in case of any crises. We would suggest avoiding Air India.
Travel Note
Indian Visa
If you hold an American passport, you will need a visa for India. For a short trip to attend the wedding, the 30-day eVisa is the simplest choice. The system typically processes applications within 3–4 business days. That said, the fee must be paid at least 4 days before your expected travel date for the application to be processed. We'd recommend applying at least 2 weeks before departure to be safe. What you'll need: - A valid US passport with at least 6 months of validity from your arrival date, and at least 2 blank pages for immigration stamps - A passport-style digital photo - A scan of your passport's biographical page
