Fliers with only cabin baggage may get cheaper tickets

Currently, the lowest airfares offered on most domestic routes include the provision of a cabin bag weighing up to 8 kg and check-in luggage weighing 15-25 kg

Looking for a cheap flight? Try travelling with just your cabin luggage as airlines are considering introducing special discounted fares for passengers who opt to fly with just their carry-on bag.

According to a report by Mint, the cheaper fares will benefit about 40% of domestic travellers, such as small businessmen and corporate executives, on short trips and encourage them to travel more frequently rather than stay in hotels.

Further IndiGo, India’s largest domestic airline, said it is considering the plan. “We will continue to evaluate our service offerings to offer options and flexibility to meet the evolving needs of our customers," an IndiGo spokesperson said in response to a query.

Currently, the lowest airfares offered on most domestic routes include the provision of a cabin bag weighing up to 8 kg and check-in luggage weighing 15-25 kg, and no Indian airline offers cabin baggage-only fares.
