Air India Express Baggage Allowance: If you are going to travel by air, then this news is for you only. Actually, Air India Express has made a big change in its baggage policy. Under this, the check-in baggage limit for passengers has been increased. This change has been made by Air India to provide convenience to the passengers. According to the new change, Air India Express is now providing the facility of 7 kg cabin baggage along with 30 kg check-in baggage to its passengers.
According to the first rule of Air India, passengers were allowed check-in baggage only up to 20 kg. However, by changing the rules, the facility of 10 kg additional baggage has been given to the passengers. Under the change in baggage policy, passengers will be allowed to carry up to two cabin baggage. However, the weight of both the bags should not exceed 7 kg. This includes laptop bags, handbags, backpacks or small sized bags. Air India has stated that the size of cabin baggage should not exceed 40 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm, so that they can fit comfortably under the seat in front.
Special discount for families traveling with children
According to the information given by Air India Express officials, additional facilities have been given to families traveling with small children. A provision of 10 kg extra has been made for them in the baggage policy. This means that families traveling with children will be able to carry a total weight of up to 47 kg. Apart from 40 kg check-in baggage, this will include 7 kg cabin bag.
Facility will not be available on every flight
If you are thinking that passengers will be able to get this facility in every flight of Air India Express, then it is not so. According to the information given by Air India Express, the change in baggage policy will be applicable only on international flights between India, Middle East and Singapore. Baggage policy on other flights will remain the same as before. This means that apart from 20 kg check-in baggage, only 7 kg cabin baggage will be available.
