  "account": "New Delhi: IndiGo, the Indian airline, has revised the prices for various optional services, including infant travel, excess baggage, and airport priority facilities. These changes lead to higher costs for passengers.\n\nThe infant travel fee, applicable for children aged between three days and two years, has been increased from ₹2,000 to ₹3,000. Unlike other passengers, infants are not provided with a separate seat and must be booked separately. This rise in the fee will contribute to an increase in family travel expenses when traveling with young children.\n\nIn terms of excess baggage, IndiGo has raised its domestic charge from ₹700 to ₹800 per kilogram. Passengers are required to pay an additional ₹100 for every excess kilogram. For instance, carrying an additional five kg of luggage would now cost ₹4,000, up from the previous charge of ₹3,500. Passengers are advised to review their ticket's baggage allowance before reaching the airport to avoid any unexpected charges.\n\nUnaccompanied minor service for domestic flights has also increased its fee from ₹5,000 to ₹5,999. This facility is available for eligible children traveling without an adult, subject to IndiGo's specified conditions. For international flights, the unaccompanied minor service has been priced at ₹12,999.\n\nAdditionally, IndiGo has increased the domestic airport charge for its Fast Forward service from ₹450 to ₹650. This optional service offers priority check-in and boarding for passengers. For international flights, the charge for a Fast Forward service is ₹850 per flight sector, and the travel certificate issuance fee has been raised from ₹200 to ₹300. The travel certificate serves as proof of travel and can be utilized for reimbursement, GST, and leave travel concession claims. These revisions are part of IndiGo's regular review of ancillary services, which passengers can purchase separately from their base airfare.",
