This is great. I didn't realize any Indian carrier gave extra luggage allowance to passengers connecting to international flights on Other Airlines within 24 hours. Kudos Vistara.

If I understand correctly, flying Vistara DEL to AMD in PE, to connect to my SQ flight in J (booked separately), will allow me the SQ J baggage allowance (higher of the two) upto the UK limit of 2 x 23 Kgs? Their website says:

If connection to / from international flight on two separate ticket within 24 hours of the Vistara flight:
Passengers travelling on Vistara, to and from international destinations with our interline partners/other airlines on separate tickets with different ticket numbers are entitled to maximum of total 23 kg per passenger for Economy cabin except if booking made in conjunction with Vistara ticket on Economy Lite fare. If passenger has booked an Economy Lite fare, the baggage allowance will be as per grid i.e. total 15 kg, 1 pc only.


If travelling in Premium Economy, Vistara will honour the higher baggage allowance between the allowance mentioned on the international ticket and Vistara ticket, up to a maximum of 2 check-in bags of 23 kg each. Passenger will be required to present a copy of their international ticket and boarding pass for verification at the time of check-in for their Vistara flight.

Am I correct? I worry lately that I am missing something when I find something that belies my expectations. Also age.
