Starting October 17, Air India has revised its baggage policy for flights to Europe and the UK. Passengers in economy class will now face additional charges to check in a second bag.

The updated policy introduces fare categories, or "families," in economy class. The most economical option, the "value" fare, includes one checked bag weighing up to 23 kg. For those needing to check in an extra bag, options include upgrading to a higher fare class or paying an additional fee, beginning at INR 4,000 for a one-way trip.
