New Delhi: At a time when airlines in India are offering lower fares for not carrying check in baggage, national carrier Air India has announced an enhanced free check-in baggage allowance of 25 kgs for passengers travelling in the Economy Class in the domestic sectors. All other airlines offer 15 kg free bagage.
Air India is the only airline to have done so. "This offer is valid from Aug 12, 2015 to Feb 7, 2016, across all fare levels of Economy Class. Passengers who have booked before Aug 12,2015, will also get the benefit of the increased allowance. Additionally, infants will now get a free baggage allowance of 10 kgs," said a release from the airline.
Passengers travelling on Alliance Air flights and connecting to Air India flights and vice versa, will also be eligible for this offer. "However, this offer will not be available for passengers travelling exclusively on Alliance Air flights," added the release.
