NEW DELHI: Flying light will now be marginally cheaper for those who book their domestic tickets at least 15 days ahead of the travel date.IndiGo launched "lite fares" on Tuesday for those travelling with only a handbag of up to seven kg and the ticket will be cheaper by Rs 200 from the normal fares. The scheme comes over a year after budget carrier, SpiceJet, had introduced the concept of handbag-only fares to Indian aviation.Describing its handbag-only scheme, the IndiGo website said: "Lite fare: This is hand-baggage only fare. If you are travelling light with cabin baggage only, you can now look forward to additional savings on our always affordable fares. "Hand-baggage allowance remains the same as before: one handbag up to 7 kg per passenger, plus a standard sized shoulder laptop bag or ladies purse. Full service Air India and Jet said they had no plans for handbag-only fares at the moment.
