An AI spokesperson said: “We have introduced a menu-based pricing model or a branded pricing model Fare series Compliance with global aviation industry norms last year. The fare range is designed to allow our guests to choose the fares and services that best suit their needs.
Air India’s domestic economy class passengers opting for lower fares were previously allowed 25 kg checked baggage
“Bundled fares provide guests with more value and more choice at lower prices. For example, on domestic flights such as Delhi-Mumbai, the price difference between ‘Comfort+’ fares and ‘Flexible’ fares Typically around Rs 1,000, the ‘flex’ fare offers value close to Rs 9,000, including 10 kg of extra baggage, change or cancellation charges, more loyalty points, and more free seats to choose from.
Currently, in economy class on domestic routes, both the “Comfort” and “Comfort+” fare series provide a baggage allowance of 15 kilograms, while the “Flexible” fare series provides a baggage allowance of 25 kilograms. The weight limit for business class luggage on domestic routes is 25kg to 35kg. A spokesman said the free baggage allowance on international flights varies by market.
