New Delhi: In a first in India, the country's second-largest airline Jet Airways has restricted the number of bags that a passenger can check in.
According to a Times of India report, from 15 July, an economy class Jet passenger will be allowed to check-in with only one bag that weighs 15kg or less. "Premiere" class passengers can check in with a maximum of two bags, each not weighing more than 15kg.
Economy class passengers with a Jet platinum card can also carry two bags not exceeding 15kg each.
"Jet Airways is revising the baggage concept from weight to piece for sales effective June 15 and travel effective July 15," the english daily quoted from a note sent by the airline to travel agents.
The new rule, however, does not changes the free check-in baggage entitlement in terms of weight as the airline already has the 15kg limit on free check-in luggage.
Several international airlines have similar restrictions on quantity of baggage. Even Jet Airways already has such restrictions on their international flights.
The airline is yet to clear a few doubts on the implementation part. There is no clear guideline as to how the airline will handle passengers who won't follow the new rule and bring in more than two bags.
