Why show the ground staff all of the above? Surely, an uncancelled, unexpired, Indian passport would have satisfied them. Shouldn't assume that airline ground staff are experts on nationality/passport laws and procedures and grace periods.manish11 wrote:All the documents Citizen ceremony Certificate, British Passport and printout form HCI was presented to ground staff
One question, Did she got surrender certificate ? Did she returned her BRP card ?manish11 wrote:Hello All,
My wife wanted to travel to India(Birmingham to New Delhi) and tickets were booked on Indian passport back in June 2016 for 24th August. I between this period She became a British Naitonal on 10 AUG 2016 and received her passport on 17 AUG 2016.
The HCI Website clearly say https://www.hcilondon.in/pages.php?id=90 travelling on Indian Passport is allowed for a grace period of 90 days form the date of Naturalization ( refer Clarification section)
All the documents Citizen ceremony Certificate, British Passport and printout form HCI was presented to ground staff however it did not satisfy them and the did not allow her to travel.
Please advise if you have come across a similar situation and how can I get some clarification from HCI/AIR India in order to recover my ticket monies
Regards

Yes.manish11 wrote:do you think I should riase this with Air India in remote case I may get back the cost of my ticket.
Earlier, one could just travel out of the UK and back again with the Indian passport + BRP immediately after getting British citizenship for up to 90 days. (Interestingly, UK Border Staff can tell by scanning your BRP post-naturalisation that this is not a "normal" BRP).vinny wrote:manish11 wrote:Why show the ground staff all of the above?
Why would airline staff in the UK be concerned with the return part of the ticket back to the UK? Wouldn't they be concerned with only the onward journey to India?rmukherjee wrote:So yeah, I can see the twisted logic Air India used to deny travel to India to a person who technically couldn't make the return journey back (unless the ticket was a one-way ticket) -- as the person didn't have a valid British BRP or a valid Indian visa.
