Indigo Bags
I'm flying DEL to KTM which comes with 20KG. Is this one bag or multiple bags?
Also, what is the difference between international connecting baggage -v- Pre Book additional bags. Add additional piece is cheaper ₹1,615 per piece but doesn't specify weight

Each additional bag will cost you ₹1,615. You still have to pay the per kg charge.

You have 20kgs free allowance so you can carry that in one or multiple bags.
Anything over 20kgs has to be bought in multiples of 5kgs. So if you want to carry an additional 20kgs then you will have to pay ₹1,615 for the additional bag plus ₹10K for the excess weight.

I believe each bag can weigh up to 32kgs max so if you have 24kgs total then I would suggest you only carry one bag.

This is the way their thought process works:
If you have under 20kgs then you can check in as many bags as you want.
If you buy excess baggage then they will charge you in multiples of 5kg.
So if you have 29kg then you can either check-in one bag & just pay for the extra 10kg. If you want to check-in 2 bags then the first bag upto 20kg will be free & they will charge you ₹1,615 for the second bag & excess baggage for the 10kg.
Now lets suppose you have 3 bags. If you have 10kg in each bag then the first 2 will be free as they fall under the 20kgs allowance. You will have to pay ₹1,615 for the third bag as well as the charge for the 10kg slab.

Its a bit confusing so I don't blame you for not following.

This is what I have experienced with them in the past. 20kgs allowed, irrespective of the number of bags. Any bag over 20kg comes with a charge.

You can potentially argue with them and show them a printout of the luggage allowance page and try to avoid the additional fees if any.
