TL;DR

On IndiGo's Bangkok–Mumbai–Istanbul route, two passengers reported in June 2026 that they did not have to collect their baggage: it was transferred automatically, they went through the transfer zone at Mumbai airport, there was no second check-in and nobody asked for a visa. One of them noted that this may depend on the flight, so confirm transit rules with the airline.

What the community said

A separate experience with charter flights (May 2026, review posted in June): travelers flying with the tour operator Coral received flight change notices only by SMS; hotel reception did not pass the information on. The change was significant, but thanks to the message and a private transfer they managed to rearrange their departure time — so keep an eye on SMS messages from your tour operator.

Based on a passenger's experience in June 2026, on IndiGo's Bangkok–Mumbai–Istanbul flight the baggage was transferred without her involvement: she did not have to collect her suitcase in Mumbai and went through the airport's transfer zone. She herself noted that this may depend on the specific flight.

Another passenger flew the same IndiGo Bangkok–Mumbai–Istanbul route (June 2026) and confirms: baggage was transferred, there was no second check-in, and no visa was requested. This is personal experience; transit requirements depend on citizenship and can change, so check them with the airline before you travel.
