Codeshare flights may use the operating carrier's policy, not the marketing carrier's — confirm with both airlines.

Confirm at https://www.akasaair.com/quick-links/baggage.
How do I add extra baggage on Akasa Air after booking, and how much does it cost?
You can add prepaid extra baggage any time after booking through Akasa Air's "Manage Booking" on https://www.akasaair.com/quick-links/baggage, or from HappyFares My Trips — buying it online is about 20–30% cheaper than paying at the airport counter. Domestic excess ₹700 per kg at the airport (pre-book slabs cheaper: 3 kg ₹1,950 · 10 kg ₹6,500 · 30 kg ₹19,500). India→Gulf/Phuket ₹1,200 per kg at the airport (pre-book 5 kg ₹5,500 · 30 kg ₹33,000); return legs in local currency (AED 60 / QAR 60 / SAR 65 / THB 600 per kg).

What is the maximum weight for a single checked bag on Akasa Air?
A single checked bag must not exceed 32 kg on Akasa Air — a fixed baggage-handler safety limit that applies on virtually every airline. If your free allowance is higher, split it across two or more pieces, each 32 kg or under. A bag over your free limit but under 32 kg is accepted on payment of excess; a single piece over 32 kg is refused at check-in and must travel as cargo. Confirm piece rules at https://www.akasaair.com/quick-links/baggage.
Can I carry a power bank in Akasa Air cabin baggage?
Yes — power banks are allowed ONLY in cabin baggage (never checked-in). Per DGCA's 11-November-2025 advisory, you may carry up to 2 power banks per passenger. Each must be ≤100 Wh for unrestricted carriage; 100-160 Wh requires airline approval; >160 Wh is banned. Store them in your seat pocket or under-seat personal item — NOT in overhead bins. In-flight use is banned, including charging from aircraft USB ports. A 20,000 mAh / 3.7V power bank equals 74 Wh, so it's permitted.
How many liquids can I carry in Akasa Air hand baggage?
Per BCAS rules, each liquid container must be 100ml or less, all containers combined fit in one transparent 1-litre resealable bag, and one bag per passenger. This applies to water, perfume, shampoo, gel, toothpaste, and cosmetics. Exceptions: baby food/milk in reasonable quantities; prescription medicine with prescription; duty-free liquids in a Sealed Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB) with receipt. Water bottles bought after security are allowed onboard.
Are keys allowed in hand luggage on Akasa Air?
Yes — house and car keys are allowed in both cabin (hand) baggage and checked baggage on Akasa Air and all Indian flights; they are not a restricted item. The only exception is a keychain multi-tool or keyring with a blade or sharp point longer than 6 cm, which must go in checked baggage, not the cabin.
What items are not allowed in Akasa Air hand (cabin) baggage?
Prohibited in cabin baggage on Indian flights (per BCAS): sharp objects with a blade or point over 6 cm (knives, scissors, box cutters), tools such as screwdrivers, hammers and wrenches, sporting bats and cue sticks, firearms and ammunition, flammable liquids and aerosols, and most lighters and matchboxes. Power banks are cabin-only (never checked-in); liquids must follow the 100 ml rule. When in doubt, pack the item in checked baggage — confirm the current list at https://www.akasaair.com/quick-links/baggage.
