Low-cost air carriers IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir have recently revised their extra baggage charges. As a norm, a domestic passenger is allowed to carry upto 15 kg of baggage. Anything above the baggage limit is not allowed unless paid for before boarding. There are two ways to purchase the extra baggage: either to buy at the time of booking a ticket, or at the airport. The pre-booking charges online can even be cheaper than buying the extra baggage at the airport. All three airlines impose the extra baggage charges at the rate of Rs 400 per extra kg (if bought at the airport) beyond the permissible limit of 15 kg.

The charges jump to Rs 5,700 for a 15-kg extra baggage beyond the 15-kg threshold. At the same time, travellers are meant to pay Rs 11,400 for a 30-kg extra baggage, states carrier's official website goindigo.in.
