IndiGo has increased prices for several add-on services including infant travel and excess baggage fees, effective immediately. Infant travel fees have risen by 50% to ₹3,000, while excess baggage charges are now set at ₹800 per kilogram, according to livemint.com. These changes affect travelers planning to use these additional services on IndiGo flights.
The airline revised fees for services such as unaccompanied minor assistance and priority boarding as well, though specific new rates for these were not detailed. The update was published on September 17, 2026, with the airline notifying customers of the increased costs for these add-ons. The adjustments come as part of IndiGo's broader strategy to recalibrate ancillary revenue streams amid evolving operational costs.
This fee revision follows a trend among Indian carriers to raise ancillary charges to offset rising fuel prices and inflationary pressures. IndiGo, India's largest airline by market share, competes with other carriers that have also adjusted baggage and service fees recently. The higher infant travel fee and excess baggage charges could impact family travelers and those carrying additional luggage, potentially influencing customer choices and travel budgets.
The new fee structure was confirmed in the update published by livemint.com on September 17, 2026, marking a notable shift in IndiGo's pricing for add-on services. Travelers are advised to review these changes when planning trips to avoid unexpected expenses.
