DOHA: Air India Express has reduced the charges for additional baggage from QR50 to QR30 on all flights operating into India from Qatar and other Gulf countries.

Passengers  can now  carry an additional 10kg of checked-in baggage — 20kg plus an additional 10kgs — by paying QR30, the airline said yesterday. 

Those who get their tickets issued on or after August 22  from any part of the Gulf can benefit from the revised charges.

The airline recently decided to reduce the Free Baggage Allowance on flights operating into India from 30kg to 20kg per passenger, which is the present Free Baggage Allowance on flights operating out of India. This will be applicable to tickets booked on or after August 22.

Passengers with tickets issued before August 22 will continue to be entitled to 30kg Free Baggage Allowance , as reflected on their itinerary receipt, irrespective of the date of travel, said the airline.
