Sri Lanka Visa / ETA
According to the Sri Lankan immigration website https://www.immigration.gov.lk/pages_e.php?id=45,
the third paragraph states: A person who leaves Sri Lanka within seven (07) days calculated from the expiration date of the original visa validity period may leave Sri Lanka by paying the applicable visa fees at the departure port without paying a penalty.
So you’ll need to pay for a visa or the cost of a visa extension. It’s best to check with the Sri Lankan embassy or consulate for safety’s sake!

Visa / ETA Sri Lanka
Hi there,
You need to complete the ETA online for a 28-day stay in Sri Lanka (I just got mine in 5 minutes after paying). If your return stay doesn’t exceed 2 days, you don’t need an ETA, and it’s free for up to 48 hours... Check the fees here: https://eta.gov.lk

Your thoughts on IndiGo airline
Hi there,
Since I didn’t book through an agency, I only found out the answer to this question when I checked in my luggage in Delhi... You’ll have to ask the person at the counter. It depends—sometimes, for example, on routes like Goa/Chennai/Colombo, I didn’t need to collect my bags in Chennai. But on the way back, I had to pick them up in Chennai and drop them off in some kind of room that also doubled as a snack bar! Everything went smoothly anyway. Have a great trip!

Your thoughts on IndiGo airline?
True, you have to connect in Istanbul... but IndiGo just ordered 500 Airbus A320s!

How long is an unused visa for India valid?
Lula,
As a safety measure, it’d be a good idea to send an email in English to support-boi@mha.gov.in AND visasupport@gov.in explaining your situation clearly.
In any case, you must travel with the same passport as the one listed on your ETA (keep the old one and bring it with you if you get a new one. If the old one is no longer accessible, you’ll need to apply for a new visa. But be careful—some people have been denied a new visa when they already had a valid one....😐
Your thoughts on IndiGo airline
IndiGo doesn’t fly from Paris, but from Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, or London... and it seems pretty expensive. Otherwise, Oman Air, Qatar, Air India, or Air France are the easiest options from Paris.
Your thoughts on IndiGo airline
Hi there,
I travel regularly with IndiGo, an airline that has clean and well-maintained Airbus 320s and 321s. However, you’re only allowed 15 kg of checked baggage on domestic flights (20 or 30 kg on international flights, depending on the destination). My agent always adds an "6E add-on" of 8 kg for me, bringing it to 23 kg, for around 10 €. All drinks and snacks on board are paid.
I once had a big delay due to bad weather in Chennai, but my connecting flight to Colombo (also IndiGo) waited for us for over 3 hours, so I didn’t miss it.
Otherwise, Vistara isn’t bad either, though it’s usually a bit more expensive.
Safe travels
