The Indian embassy has urged people seeking repatriation on Vande Bharat Mission (VBM) flights to book tickets online "only for destinations in their home state to minimise inconvenience".
More flights to other destinations are coming up, the embassy said in a tweet on Monday. "Please do not book tickets on connecting flights along with with VBM flights, as you have to complete quarantine at the point of arrival," it stressed.
The Indian embassy recently released a list of 51 flights that will be operated in Part 1 of the fourth phase of VBM to take stranded Indians back home.
The flights will be operated by IndiGo between July 7 and 23 to Lucknow, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kannur and Kozhikode. "Please book seats on these flights directly online (IndiGo website), with your EOID number," the embassy added.
