Where the base fare stops

Cabin-bag trigger

IndiGo domestic flights include one cabin bag up to 7 kg plus one personal item. International allowances vary by route, so the exact itinerary matters.

What travels free

The personal item is included with the cabin bag on domestic flights, but international routes can use different allowances.

Paid checked-bag model

IndiGo includes checked baggage on most eligible fares, but the allowance varies by route and fare type. Additional baggage can be bought before travel or at the airport, with pricing based on route and timing.

Highest-risk restriction

The main IndiGo fee risks are route-specific baggage allowance, added baggage, airport overweight charges, paid seat selection, and fare-rule-based changes or cancellations.

Quick ways to avoid fees

Check the exact route before packing; domestic and international allowances can differ.
Buy additional baggage before the airport when needed because pricing depends on route and timing.
Keep checked baggage within the included allowance to avoid airport overweight charges.
Use free seat assignment at check-in if seat choice is not important.

Core fee breakdown

Start with what the base fare excludes, then check how purchase timing, bag size, and weight change the price.
