New Delhi: Carrying over 15 kg check-in baggage on domestic flights will now cost more. Private airlines have started raising both pre-booking charges for excess baggage as well as the fees that needs to be paid at airports by those who have not pre-booked the same. Air India is now the only airline on which domestic economy flyers can take up to 25 kg of check-in baggage free of charge.
Low cost carriers (LCC) IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir are now charging Rs 400 per kg for each kilo beyond the allowed 15 kg from domestic passengers at airports who have not pre-booked excess baggage.
IndiGo hiked pre-booked excess baggage charges on its domestic flights by one-third or 33% from Friday. IndiGo’s charges for pre-booking 5, 10, 15 and 30 kg (beyond the free 15 kg) on its domestic routes will now be Rs 1,900; Rs 3,800; Rs 5,700 and Rs 11,400, respectively.
Last August, IndiGo had set its pre-booking charges for 5, 10, 15 and 30 kg (beyond the free 15 kg) at Rs 1,425; Rs 2,850; Rs 4,275 and Rs 8,550, respectively. And flyers who did not pre-book were required to pay Rs 300 per kg for each kilo beyond the allowed 15 kg. All these charges have now been hiked by 33%.
IndiGo and SpiceJet revised their excess bag charge from Friday (June 22), while GoAir hiked from Saturday.
