NEW DELHI: Passengers will now have to pay may more to check-in a second bag on Air India flights to and from Europe and the UK. AI has from October 17 introduced fare families where the lowest economy fare allows one check-in of 23 kg to these two places. Those who wish to check in two bags will need to opt for the higher economy fares, the difference starting at about Rs 4,000 (one-way). A leading Gulf carrier is cheaper by Rs 20,000 and is offering 35 kg baggage allowance. The idea was why should a person travelling with one check-in pay the same as someone doing so with two check-in bags.”
