Things to keep in mind while booking ticket:
Your classes start from 28 August 2017
Orientation is on 22 August 2017
British Airways has stopped providing student extra baggage offer
Air India has very bad reviews, I wouldn't suggest you to go for it.
Almost all the airlines provide extra baggage option to students. Some flights require I20 from the students to provide this facility. Choose your airline accordingly.
Emirates and Qatar Airways pack your laptops in a different safe box and store them separately.
Paytm gives 10% cashback. MMT provides some cashback if booked via HDFC credit card on Thursday. Refer this.
