can i board the flight not from the start point but from the stop over point?

Question

if i have bologan - mumbai ticket via vienna, can i board the flight from vienna itself instead of bologna?

Answer 1

You sure can, but you need to make arrangements with the airline.
Are you free to travel over land from Italy to Austria? Unless you have a EU passport, you will need a "Schengen visa".

Answer 2

Cal the airline that issued the ticket. In most cases the answer is no. If you paid for a ticket from Bologna to Mumbai you are expected to check in for your flights in Bologna. When you do not, your reservation on the Vienna-Mumbai flight will be cancelled. It may be possible to cancel the Bologna-Vienna flight, but it depends on the fare and you may have to pay penalties. If you have your ticket, or the recept if it is an e-ticket, there will be what is called a fare calculation line somewhere which will tell you if the fare is calculated from origin to destination or from point-to-point. It will start with the letter BLQ - if you post it here I will be able to tell you what kind of fare you have.

Answer 3

I doubt it. At least in the United States (or on US Flag Carriers), a reservation is automatically cancelled if the passenger does not board at the start point off his/her ticketed flight. This includes the return flight as well, if one was booked on the same reservation.

Answer 4

You will have to revise the ticket with the airline since this is an international flight and there are security issues here. The answer is no.

Answer 5

No, and the airline will usually cancel the remainder of your itinerary when you fail to show for the first segment. The ticket you bought must include all segments.

Answer 6
