In a move to optimize its fare structure and cater to evolving passenger preferences, Air India has introduced changes to its baggage policy. Effective May 2nd, the free cabin baggage allowance for the Comfort and Comfort Plus fare families on domestic flights has been reduced from 25 kg and 20 kg to a uniform 15 kg. This adjustment is part of Air India’s menu-based pricing model, which offers three fare families with varying levels of benefits and restrictions: Comfort, Comfort Plus, and Flex. The Flex fare family maintains its generous 25 kg cabin baggage allowance, providing travelers with additional flexibility and convenience. Air India’s decision aligns with the industry trend of 15 kg cabin baggage allowance for economy class on domestic flights. This move allows the airline to better match its services with passenger expectations and optimize its operations. The airline emphasized that its fare families are designed to provide passengers with a wider range of choices, empowering them to select the fare that best suits their needs and preferences. This approach recognizes that travelers today have diverse requirements, and a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer ideal. Air India’s fare families offer a spectrum of benefits, including varying levels of baggage allowance, priority check-in, seat selection options, and flexibility in change or cancellation policies. Passengers can now choose the fare that aligns with their specific travel needs and preferences, ensuring a more tailored and enjoyable travel experience.
