Paper boarding card for Delhi transit

[bowenm187]

I am planning to transit Delhi hand baggage only but arriving on a different ticket to my departure.
The departure will be on Virgin and I am trying to avoid having to go through immigration and check-in at the check-in desks
The route is SIN-DEL-LHR.
I understand that a paper boarding pass is needed to transit directly in the international terminal.
Does anybody know if I would be able to get a paper boarding pass from the Virgin desk in Singapore even though I would not be flying with them until Delhi?
I have a long layover in Delhi and want to avoid the situation of having to go the check-in route and potentially having to wait until the Delhi check-in desks open (as well as having to pay for a visa)
My arrival will be on a SQ reward flight so no chance of doing the trip on a single ticket

Any Virgin desk that exists in Singapore is Virgin Australia, not Virgin Atlantic. An entirely different airline, with the only commonality being the use of the Virgin name.

You used to be able to book SQ on VS Points (until this year), but that’s now disappeared – I can’t remember if it was possible to stick an SQ redemption on the same ticket as VS revenue, but that would have been one route – assuming you had sufficient VS Points to pay for the SQ sector – to have potentially done this with boarding passes issued at SIN.

Thanks for the reply. I’m aiming for first on the SIN-DEL part and VS to get back to the UK. There are some saver rewards with VS in business so it looked like a relatively cheap way of getting back. Not sure if SQ make first available to partners but as you say the option is now gone. Might see where the SQ A380’s route in q1’26. I’d gone for the Del route only because it was lowish SQ points, was about 6 hours so not too short to enjoy it and left at a decent time.

Yep. BOM/DEL on VS is usually a good route – they’re not the obvious choice to India versus, say, AI or BA, which I think helps them price competitvely.
