All passengers MUST have a valid U.S. passport or other U.S. travel document (e.g. green card, visa) to board the flight.  If any member of your party does not have a currently valid U.S. travel document, please note this in your email.

Travelers may wish to make arrangements to stay at hotels near the Indira Gandhi International Airport, the following Delhi hotels are currently accepting reservations from U.S. citizens:  Andaz Aerocity, JW Marriott Aerocity, Leela Ambience Gurgaon, Pullman Aerocity, Leela Palace, Hyatt Regency, Taj Palace, and ITC Maurya.  In addition, OYO Hotels has offered rooms to U.S. citizens in the Delhi/NCR region.  OYO hotels near the Airport include OYO 19046 Hotel Airport Suites and OYO 9030 Hotel Delhi Airport Plaza.

We are also working to arrange transportation for U.S. citizens in Bangalore to Chennai for the April 10 Chennai-Mumbai flight, and will make those details available via STEP once the arrangements are finalized.

Passengers with confirmed flights who are based outside Mumbai and using ground transportation should arrive the day before the flight and are responsible for finding accommodations.  The consulate negotiated a special rate for hotel reservations at the Sofitel BKC and the Trident BKC.  To make a reservation and for pricing information, contact the hotel directly and ask to speak with a manager.  These hotels are within walking distance of the U.S. consulate, though passengers may choose to arrange their own accommodations and transportation to and from the consulate.

Flights from New Delhi and Mumbai are chartered by the U.S. government and the final cost per ticket has not yet been determined.  Confirmed passengers must sign an evacuation loan repayment agreement; no payment is required up front.  Passengers will be billed by the U.S. Department of State after the completion of the trip.  Tickets are available through this billing mechanism only and may not be purchased directly or in advance.  In addition to the cost of the flight, you will be billed for any U.S. government-chartered ground transportation.  You are responsible for arranging and paying for any other expenses, such as hotel stays, meals, and onward domestic travel in the United States.

Seats on U.S. government repatriation flights are allocated based on established evacuation guidelines that prioritize passengers using a variety of criteria, including age and certain medical conditions.  Some passengers who meet priority criteria have already received invitations to submit additional information.  Confirmed passengers must sign an evacuation loan repayment agreement.  If you have filled out the form at https://tinyurl.com/uscit-india, but have not received an invitation, please continue to monitor your email, including in your spam and junk folders.  Note that those who have received invitations should follow the reply instructions within the time frame specified in the email, or their seat may be offered to another passenger.

We recommend you monitor our social media (https://twitter.com/USAndIndia and https://www.facebook.com/India.usembassy/) in addition to our website, and for U.S. citizens to consider using private group messaging apps to facilitate travel to Delhi or Mumbai for repatriation flights to the United States.

We urge all U.S. citizens seeking to depart India on charter flights to be vigilant about scammers.  There are several individuals claiming to be organizing charter flights to the United States and soliciting personal data and money.  The Indian government will only authorize flights in conjunction with the U.S. government.  Only flights being organized directly by the U.S. Embassy or consulates have been approved by the Government of India.  Please do not provide any information to entities not directly affiliated with the U.S. government.  We urge you to continue to monitor the official information being pushed out through STEP notifications, on the embassy’s website, and on our Facebook (U.S. Embassy India) and Twitter (@USandIndia) accounts.

We encourage all U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents who wish to return to the United States to evaluate their options and risks.  Current Government of India and Center for Disease Control guidelines advise sheltering in place where possible to do so.
