Hand Baggage Allowance

In addition , you can carry one personal item - such as ladies purse or a small laptop bag upto 3 kg. Always remember to carry your valuables, any electronics and important documents in your hand baggage, as you will keep this with you during the flight. 

Checked Bag for Domestic Flight

For flights within India, you are allowed to have checked baggage totaling upto 15kg. This bag goes into the cargo hold of the aircraft. If you have booked a Double, Triple or Multi-seat option, you will get 10kg of additional checked baggage allowance, totaling 25 kg, as well as the option of checking two individually separate bags for 25kg total if you are travelling in that situation.

  • Australia ( from Australia): 46 Kg (2 bags of 23 Kg each)
  • Australia ( to India):  30 Kg (2 bags of 15 kg each)
  • USA: 46 kg (2 bags of 23 kg each)
  • Europe and Africa: 30 Kg ( 2 bags of 15 kg each)

Baggage for Infants

Travelling with an Infant ( i.e. 2 years old or younger), you are permitted to bring:

  • One hand baggage that must weigh to a maximum of 7kg. However, no checked baggage is permitted for infants.
  • You may be able to fit foods for babies, diapers, and even some small baby essentials into your cabin bag.

Excess Baggage charges

What if your luggage exceeds the weight limit? Excess baggage charges apply. These are too hefty at the airport, so it would be ideal for you to pre-book your extra baggage online. Besides Indigo charges good rates when you book extra baggage in advance on its website.

So, always check your bags at home before going to avoid last-minute surprises.

Special Items (Sports Gear, Musical Instruments)

Would you like to travel with large electronics, a guitar, or a cricket kit? While your airline will accept special items, it will charge you an extra handling fee. You must give at least 48 hours notice before your flight. Those items must be well packed and secured.

Never to be Packed 

Some items are prohibited in your bags, like: 

  • Powerbank and spare batteries can only be carried in hand baggage, and must not be checked in.
  • Flammable items such as lighters and matchboxes should not be brought in.
  • Liquids with a volume above 100ml are not allowed inside the hand baggage.

Pack your bag and double check the restricted items list before packing.

Pro Tips for Smart Packing

  • Check the weight of your baggage through a weighing machine before tarvelling.
  • Roll your clothes rather than fold them, they need lesser space.
  • Packing cubes can be used for better organisation.
  • Mark luggage with a name and contact address.
  • In case of doubts, check the website of Indigo or contact customer support.
