What are my options [domestic travel baggage issues BOM/HYD]
Flying on an international flight to Mumbai and taking domestic Air India to Hyderabad. Return is the same and taking 10PM Air India flight to Mumbai. I am allowed 25 kg suitcase. That leaves me with 1 additional suitcase.
Is it better to pay or negotiate at the Hyd Airport last minute? Or can you convince your fellow traveller by giving him some money to take your suitcase?
Or is there any bus services in Hyd that can take my suitcase and meet me in Mumbai airport to drop it off?

If it's a separate ticket you will need to cough up the extra baggage charge. Air India is pretty relaxed on luggage though so I would see what happens at check-in.
If its one ticket, the international ticket baggage allowance counts.

Thank you. Final question. How many bags can I take on domestic Air India? I am told I am allowed 25kgs of checked luggage.
If I have 10 + 10 kgs in 2 suitcases for my flight from Air China will I be ok? I tried to ask this question to Air India but not getting clear answers. Is there a limit on piece of suitcase for domestic flights?

Thank you so much. You literally saved me money from buying a new suitcase for my return flight. While going I wont have much luggage but this will help me from purchasing an extra one on my return flight
