Hi!
I am visiting India(Ahmedabad) in December. Is it advisable to book tickets for Toronto-Bombay from an agent (in Canada)and purchase tickets for Bombay-Amedabad from India (because the rates are very cheap down there)?
I can save almost $500 (because we are 4) , but the big question is what about our baggage?
any thoughts please !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've done this every single time I've flown India so far. If you're coming from an international flight and are able to show your boarding pass, you get the International luggage limit, not the local one.
Last time I flew was 2004. So unless rules have changed recently, I don't think you should have an issue.

Are you there?
Thankyou for your quick response.
The domestic rates in India are for the resident Indians. If you show your international tickets, then probably you would have to pay the international rates to the airlines. Therefore please check with your agent before showing your international tickets for your baggage.
