The best way to avoid excess baggage fees on IndiGo is to pre-purchase additional baggage allowance when booking on HappyFares or through the airline's "Manage Booking" portal before your flight — this is typically 20–30% cheaper than paying at the airport check-in counter. Also, weigh your bags at home before the airport. If you are travelling with a group, distribute weight across all passengers while staying within each individual limit. Codeshare flights may use the operating carrier's policy, not the marketing carrier's — confirm with both airlines.
What is the IndiGo baggage allowance to Dubai?
On India–Dubai flights IndiGo gives free checked baggage of 30 kg on Saver and Flexi Plus fares, 35 kg on IndiGo UpFront, 40 kg on IndiGoStretch and 45 kg on Stretch+ — per person, in up to 2 pieces (no bag over 32 kg) — plus 7 kg cabin baggage (12 kg in Stretch). The same allowance applies to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat, Doha, Dammam, Bahrain, Kuwait, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Excess runs about ₹1,200 per kg at the airport, so pre-book extra weight online.
What is the IndiGo UpFront baggage allowance?
IndiGo UpFront includes an additional 5 kg of checked baggage over the standard allowance — 20 kg on domestic flights (vs 15 kg on Saver/Flexi Plus), 35 kg to Dubai or Singapore, and 40 kg to Europe (London, Amsterdam). Hand baggage stays 7 kg. UpFront also adds a front-row seat and complimentary meal, and it cannot be booked on codeshare flights.
What is the IndiGo baggage allowance to Bangkok and Phuket?
IndiGo's free checked baggage to Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Bali and Malé is 20 kg on Saver/Flexi Plus, 25 kg on UpFront, 30 kg on Stretch and 35 kg on Stretch+ (2 pieces, ≤32 kg each) — a lower tier than the 30 kg Gulf/Singapore routes. Kathmandu carries the same weights but in 1 piece only (not 2), so pack a single bag. Cabin baggage is 7 kg plus a 3 kg personal item.
What is the IndiGo cabin (hand) baggage size limit in cm?
Hand bag max 55 × 35 × 25 cm and 115 cm (L+W+H), plus one personal item (purse/laptop bag) up to 3 kg. IndiGo Business (Stretch and Stretch+) allows 12 kg of hand baggage. The cabin baggage weight limit is 7 kg hand baggage + 1 personal item up to 3 kg (IndiGo Business / Stretch: 12 kg). Size limits are checked at the gate — an oversized bag is moved to the hold and can attract a fee, so measure your trolley bag (wheels and handles included) before you fly. Confirm at https://www.goindigo.in/travel-information/en/baggage-allowance.html.
How do I add extra baggage on IndiGo after booking, and how much does it cost?
You can add prepaid extra baggage any time after booking through IndiGo's "Manage Booking" on https://www.goindigo.in/travel-information/en/baggage-allowance.html, 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-paid online slabs are cheaper: 5 kg ₹3,250 · 10 kg ₹6,500 · 30 kg ₹19,500). International per kg at airport: Gulf/Jeddah/Riyadh/Doha/Bahrain/Muscat ~₹1,200; Bangkok/Singapore/KL/Bali/Nairobi/Mauritius ~₹1,500; Malé/Colombo/Kathmandu ~₹1,000; Europe & Istanbul ~₹2,500. Pre-purchase up to 1 hr (domestic) / 2 hr (international) before departure. Add it before the online cut-off (usually a few hours before departure); after that you pay the higher per-kg rate at check-in.
What is the maximum weight for a single checked bag on IndiGo?
A single checked bag must not exceed 32 kg on IndiGo — 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.goindigo.in/travel-information/en/baggage-allowance.html.
Can I carry a power bank in IndiGo 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 IndiGo 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 IndiGo?
Yes — house and car keys are allowed in both cabin (hand) baggage and checked baggage on IndiGo 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 IndiGo 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.goindigo.in/travel-information/en/baggage-allowance.html.
