New Delhi: Airlines are scrambling to charge for small things like priority seats, check-in at counters where you may not need to stand in a long queue and some have already lowered baggage allowance for domestic travel. But here’s the funny part: no one is willing to talk about these charges.
If you are flying an LCC this week, take a few minutes to browse the airline’s website and see which services are being offered for what charges, else you may get an unpleasant surprise at the airport.
Not only are new charges not being adequately advertised, many airlines have still not filed the mandatory information on these charges with aviation regulator DGCA.IndiGo, the country’s largest airline, has advertised on its website about preferred seat charges of Rs 500, Rs 200 and Rs 100. The first one is for seats in rows 1, 2, 12 and 13 (where more leg space is available), the second charge is for all other window and aisle seats and the last one for all middle seats.
