Jet Airways to charge Rs 250 per kg for additional baggage over 15 kg

After Air India, Jet Airways on Thursday announced to revise the free baggage allowance. The airline said with effect from May 15, the free baggage allowance in the economy class on all domestic routes will be 15 kg. However, it has retained the cabin baggage limit at the previous level of 7 kg.

The airline, said it will charge a passenger flat Rs 250 for every additional baggage.

The JetPrivilege members will continue to enjoy the additional free baggage allowance as per their JP membership status, while Premiere guests will continue to avail 30 kg of free baggage allowance on Jet Airways and JetKonnect flights, it said.

Last week, Air India had allowed revised downward its free baggage limit to 15 kg.

The move is the result of a recent government move to unbundle on-board and on-ground services like preferred seating and baggage allowances. Globally airlines have already unbundled their services which helps shore up revenue.
