baggage allowance
 

hi I'm flying into india from australia with singapore airlines, whose baggage allowance is 30 kilos. but from my flight from delhi to amritsir it is 15 kilos. should i be able to get free baggage allowance since the flight with air india is less less than 2 hours difference from when i arrive in delhi.

also it is a separate ticket

to be sure, it is best to contact both airlines.

but most likely, if it is a single ticket, your international allowance will apply.
if it is separate ticket, your usual domestic allowance should apply.

2 hours is a very tight window for tansfer from internation to domestic in ANY country especially on separate tickets

since it's on a separate ticket, you cannot apply the larger baggage allowance for that flight. However, you can get an extra 10 kg allowance just by signing up for AI's Flying Returns program:

So can i still get the 25 kilos if i make a air india ff now

yes, you can

thanks heaps sir, made me saver over $200 :)
Also would have to ring them to change it,

just log on with your pnr on the manage reservation section on the ai website & update your ff number....you should be good to go after that....

Baggage help with FF
 

Hi I'm flying domestic in india next week and my baggage is only 15 kgs. And i have been told if i made a account with the ff it will be changed from 15 to 25 kilos. but you have to fly once before it comes in use. if i am flying from melbourne to change to delhi, would that be counted or not.

this is air india's policy. and no, as long as your FF number is shown on the account, you have access to the 10 kg extra.

So im entitled to free ten kilograms, even if i fly them for the first time and also no i asked them to send me a ticket with the ff number on it but they don't do it, they send it without the ff number

Yes i did that but sir, but it doesn't show the ff number on three of the tickets, I have rang them with no help at all. should this be a problem or would this show up in their systems at the airport.

have you tried to add the number yourself online????

I rang the and they said I'm not allowed an extra 10 kilos until i fly once, is this true or not

they do say that but i know a bunch of people who have signed up & flown for the first time with the extra allowance....

I was flying AI last week BOM-CCU.. Was told by the ticketing agent at the airport that the 10kg allowance is not available anymore for Base members.. the check in counter agent wasn't that well informed.. he allowed me the extra 10kgs.. YMMV..

I wonder if that is an upcoming change... or just another clueless agent. Their track record would suggest the latter, since things hardly ever change at AI. Then again, they are hoping to join *A so maybe they will *enhance* their FFP :rolleyes:

a friend of mine flew bom-del earlier this week....i told her to sign up with flying returns to get the extra 10kg for her flight & she did....she got the extra baggage allowance & there was no mention of the benefit not being available for base members anymore....

it seems to be that this is probably a case of the check-in agent making things up....

It's AI.. people make up rules as they go along..

carry a copy of the brochure which lists elite benefits, it clearly says base members get 10 kgs too

I've never had a problem with a separate ticket with 24 hr of landing in Mumbai... I arrived on DL @ midnight and took the AI flight to AMD from the international terminal and it not even a issue.. check the AI site, they still interline or ask a AI agent, I just flew back a few months ago.. not even an issue. Safe travels

I tried search on AI website but could not find the info.

What is the baggage allowance for Star Gold member for domestic travel on AI?

15 general + 20 for status + 10 cabin

Any idea if the 35 kg (15 general + 20 for status) have to in one bag or can be split into two bags?

Can be split into two bags.

Upto you. Usually in India, number of baggages is not a restriction.
