Air India Implements New Cabin Baggage Limit: 15 KG For Economy Flyers
Air India , which has been facing losses, has adjusted its free cabin baggage allowance from 20 kilograms to 15 kilograms for the lowest economy fare segment on domestic flights .
The alterations have been implemented within the menu-based pricing model fare families that were rolled out by the Tata Group-owned Air India last August, with the airline emphasizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer viable.
According to an airline spokesperson, there exist three fare families — Comfort, Comfort Plus , and Flex — offering varying benefits and fare restrictions at different price points.
Commencing May 2, the complimentary cabin baggage allowance for the ‘Comfort’ and ‘Comfort Plus’ categories has been downsized to 15 kg from 20 kg and 25 kg, respectively.
Before the introduction of the fare families concept, passengers on Air India’s domestic flights could carry 25 kilograms of cabin baggage without incurring additional charges.
