[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — cabin luggage policy

Address:700084
Website:www.goindigo.in

I am extremely disgusted regarding the cabin luggage policy of indigo. I was travelling from Kolkata to Raipur by Indigo flight 6E245 on 3Oth May which was scheduled at 6:35 a.m. At the check in counter I WAS INTERRUPTED; I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY A CABIN LUGGAGE INSIDE AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE WHILE TRAVELLING IN INDIGO FLIGHTS AND WAS FORCED TO PUT IT IN THE CHECK IN LUGGAGE. As a result, I had a luggage excess of 8 kgs and had to pay 2400/- at the check in counter. I was told that I will not be allowed to carry this luggage inside as it was too big for the size of a cabin luggage. I am a regular customer of Indigo and I am well aware of the the size of luggage which I am allowed to carry. However, this incident has left me totally irritated. I am not being able to understand why does Indigo not have strict rules about cabin luggage except for the weight allowance of 7 kgs? If Indigo has so much problem, why don't they actually mention the size of the luggage we are allowed to carry?? I am sorry to say it was a very wrong gesture on the part of the Indigo executive and I must say I'll think twice in the future to choose Indigo as my airline of choice.

IndiGo Customer Care's response
Hi Aritra,

Thank you for reaching out to us. As per the Conditions of Carriage, the cabin baggage of 7 kg per person with a maximum size of length 55cm, width 35cm and height 25cm respectively is allowed and the same information is reflecting in the itinerary sent to the registered mail i.d. Based on our records, your cabin baggage exceeds the permissible size and weight was 9 kg. Hence, our staff has charged for 8 kg of excess check-in baggage at the rate of INR 400 per kilogram. Please be rest assured that we try our best to assist our passengers in the best possible manner.

Regards,
IndiGo Team
