When is it not possible to perform Vistara web check in?

Vistara, the only Indian carrier to add a premium economy cabin class, is a joint venture between the Tata group of India and Singapore Airlines of Singapore. It provides three cabin classes of service- economy, premium economy and business class. Passengers can fly to a limited number of domestic destinations in India using its flight service. They are allowed different baggage allowances as per the cabin class.
Vistara provides multiple ways of checking in. Passengers can proceed to airport counters for this purpose. They can even use the auto-check in facility of the airline if ticket has been booked with some agent. It is also possible to get a Return check-in done if the return flight is within 48 hours. However, it is the Vistara web check in which is extremely convenient for passengers since they can get the boarding pass in email and in their mobiles.
However, Vistara web check in might not be applicable in certain cases. In these situation and these special passengers are required to use the regular airport check-in.

Vistara on ‘Vistar’

Vistara, the full service legacy carrier of Tata Sons and SIA, has announced the plans to begin flights to Guwahati and Bagdogra in North-East India. The airline currently operates flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. With the addition of these new destinations from Delhi, there will be greater connectivity with the region, which is well in tune with government ambitions as well.

The carrier is awaiting a nod from the government to do away with the 5/20 rule wherein the new carriers are allowed to operate the international flights only after they have operated on domestic sectors for 5 years and have a fleet of at least 20 aircraft. This rule is proving to be a major stumbling block in expanding to more profitable international destinations rather than expanding to low-profit sectors on the domestic routes.  However, the other carriers, who have already suffered due to this rule in the past, are opposing the move arguing that there shall be level playing field among all carriers and rule shall not be changed. The government is also pondering over the cons of taking this step of removing the rule.

However, till the time government takes a final decision, Vistara is expanding into high density corridors. Bagdogra is the main gateway to many attractive tourist destinations in the region and considering that the number of travelers to that region is increasing by the day, Vistara has moved to cash in on the demand.
