Go to Jet Airways website, use the baggage allowance calculator. At the bottom, there's a footnote indicating that if a domestic Jet Airways is booked in US/Canada, allowance is 1 bag/23 kgs. If ticket is booked in UK, allowance is 2 bags/23kgs each.

Someone needs to validate, but I think best approach is to use U.K. Website to book your ticket (using VPN). Not sure if U.K. Website allows using U.S credit card etc.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, to get the 2 "free" baggage allowance, one needs to book in a higher fare class for which the fare is far more expensive!

Still far cheaper than paying for a 2nd bag weighing 23kg. I'm comparing DEL-IXC route. If you are flying USA-DEL-IXC with 2 bags, it's a no-brainer to book eligible fare class to get 2 bags.

* also, check from U.K. Website. Eligible fare class has to be booked from U.K. Website and its only 25 pounds more.

I purchased my ticked using Chase Ultimate Reward points. It procures the equivalency of Jet Airways "dollar" fare which means that checked bag of 23 Kgs (not just 15Kgs) is free.

If it is single PNR with flight originating in US, bagagge allowance of originating carrier will apply for the entire roundtrip ticket at the minimum (Jet can let you have additional allowance if that is standard for Jet in that calss for that segment)

For example if you do JFK-(AA)-LHR-(9W)-BOM-(9W)-DOH-(QR)-JFK in business, your allowance as per USDOT is 2 bags for the entire trip. But Jet will allow 3 bags on BOM-DOH portion as it is standard for them to do so and since they through check to JFK, QR's policy will not come into picture.

Over the years Jet has toyed around with the challenge of limiting domestic bag allowance vs practicality of connecting international pax while at the same time encouraging sirport staff to gouge intl pax for baggage fees wherever they can get away with. There wasa time (several years ago) when the fare was based on IP address location. That does not seem to be case any more.

Also, if originating segment is on Jet, it is very easy to make a booking and see the baggage allowance in the ticket confirmation (As per Jet website, there is no penalty for booking cancelled in 24 hours)

Hi all, if I am flying international premium economy and have 2 bags 23kg included and +1 bag 23kg with Star Alliance Gold with A3, does that mean Vistara will give me 2 bags 23kg or 3 bags 23kg? Thanks!

Firstly the airline you're flying needs to be an interline partner with Vistara - https://www.airvistara.com/trip/extra-baggage-allowance

In your case, if you fly PE/Biz with Vistara you will be allowed 2 x 23kg over and above your standard allowance.

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.

Fantastic! No status with SQ, but will ask if my SQ J allows any benefits at DEL.

I shall post my experience.

Thanks.

This isn't clear it says that the airline is interline/codeshare/other airline

Other airline to me reads as any airline

Anish

They added the "/other airline" bit after I made the post. It now does look like any airline works.

This is an old comment. What is Vistara's current policy for international travelers connecting to a Indian domestic flight (separate tickets)?

They no longer offer this. International baggage allowance is now only on single tickets: https://www.airvistara.com/in/en/vis...gage-allowance
