\"air<\/p>\n

In the latest revision of the cabin baggage policy, Air India has introduced charges for excess hand baggage with effect starting November 1, 2019<\/strong>. \u00a0AI passengers will have to cough up extra money if they travel with excess hand baggage on Air India flights, both domestic and international.<\/p>\n

Excess weight over and above Air India\u2019s free hand baggage allowance of 8kgs is chargeable now.<\/strong> Usually, travelers are allowed to carry only one piece of carry-on or cabin baggage weighing not more than 8kgs, no matter whether they book cheap Air India economy tickets<\/span><\/a> or business class fares<\/span><\/a>. The airline charges excess hand baggage on domestic and international routes, at different rates.<\/p>\n

Air India<\/span><\/a> levies $15\/kg and applicable GST charges for excess hand baggage on passengers of its international flights<\/strong>. In case of domestic flights, Rs 500\/kg is levied for excess hand baggage, alongside applicable GST charges. These new charges for excess hand baggage on AI flights came into effect this November 1.<\/p>\n

The latest revision of Air India\u2019s hand baggage policy does also state that a traveler won\u2019t be allowed to carry more than 15kgs of hand baggage<\/strong> despite additional payment for excess weight. If one\u2019s hand baggage exceeds 15kgs of weight, it will not be allowed either in cabin or as checked-in. In such cases, travelers are required to contact the airline before booking their travel on IndianEagle.com or any other portal.<\/p>\n
