Indian airline IndiGo has raised prices for extra baggage, infant tickets, unaccompanied minors, and priority services, which could raise overall travel costs for passengers using these add-on services, especially families with infants, children flying alone, and those with excess baggage. International travelers will also face higher charges.
Unaccompanied minor service for international travel is now Rs 12,999, while the Fast Forward priority service, offering priority check-in and boarding, costs Rs 850 per sector for international flights. Domestic Fast Forward charges have been raised to Rs 650.
Passengers carrying more luggage than their allowed allowance will now pay Rs 800 per kilogram, up from Rs 700. This charge applies to excess baggage above the permitted limit and is separate from the standard airfare.
IndiGo has also revised charges for infants aged between three days and two years. The fee depends on how the ticket is booked, with both pre-booking and airport-counter charges being affected. Parents traveling with infants should check the latest applicable fee when making their booking.
The airline has increased charges for children travelling without an accompanying adult. For domestic journeys, the unaccompanied minor service for children aged five to 12 years costs Rs 5,999, up from Rs 5,000. For international travel, the revised charge is Rs 12,999.
IndiGo has also raised its travel certificate fee to Rs 300, from Rs 200 previously. These revised charges apply only when passengers use the respective optional services and are separate from the airline's standard ticket fare and applicable baggage allowance.
Passengers should check IndiGo's latest fee schedule before booking, especially if they are carrying excess baggage, traveling with an infant, booking travel for an unaccompanied child, flying internationally, or adding priority check-in or boarding services. These changes are part of IndiGo's periodic review of charges for ancillary services.
