Help please Indigo checked in suitcase size!
Please can you help me I am flying to India on BA and then after a couple of days on Chennai I fly to Kochi on Indigo. The suitcase I am intending to take with me has dimensions of 50 x 77 x 30 all cms which totals 157cms. I have bought extra baggage of 15 kilos but was concerned about my my suitcase dimensions it is just under (I hope) the 158cms on the website. Will I get away with it? Many thanks

Besides, you paid for extra luggage which means that they will already look to you favorably, meaning that even if you were 1 or 3 inches over, it would be overlooked.
Relax!
However, if you weight exceeds 15kgs, that's a different matter altogether, and you will be charged for each kg. over 15kg.
By the way, it is foolish buying such a large bag for just 15 kgs.......your bag itself will weigh probably about 12 lbs which is about 5 to 6 kgs.

Ok, safe travels. if you intend to carry 15 + 15 for a total 30kgs, that actually means very good sense for1 bag that holds that weight.

i've carried all types of bags on various different airlines in india & the only thing they do is measure the bag for weight, never for size....you won't have a problem with the size of the bag....

For clarification I said thank you to be polite, I did think that the individual who replied was overly aggressive and a tad rude!

Read OP's comment just above this post, where he/she clearly finds you overly rude.

Secondly, you would think that someone in the US can take a lit bit of bluntness, sarcasm, humor, and perspective. That's what makes a forum thread interesting to read. Otherwise, you could just run your question through Google.
