Only 15 kg of baggage can be carried free in Air India flights; Free cabin baggage allowance reduced, new rule effective from May 2

New Delhi: Now only 15 kg of luggage can be carried free in Air India's economy flight. Loss-making Air India has changed its baggage policy for domestic travel. The airline company has reduced the free cabin baggage allowance to 15 kg for the economy fare category or the fare family model for economy class. Earlier, the weight allowed was 20 kg in Comfort class and 25 kg in Comfort Plus. Air India launched the fare family model last year.

An Air India spokesperson said the fare family model was designed to provide passengers the flexibility to choose fares and services that suit their needs. The spokesperson said on Saturday that there are three fare categories under economy class – Comfort, Comfort Plus and Flex. The free cabin baggage allowance for 'Comfort' and 'Comfort Plus' classes on domestic routes has been increased to 15 kg with effect from May 2.
