The airline has launched a special offer in which the excess baggage rate for only the first 10kg (1-10kg) of additional baggage, over and above the free baggage allowance, will be at a slab equivalent to only USD40 (OMR16). This rate will be the same for journeys boarding ex-Oman to their final destination in India and ex-India to Muscat.
Currently, the rates are double or triple this tariff.
"During the summer holidays, we find families travelling to India and carrying additional baggage in the form of gifts for their loved ones back home, and this leads to excess baggage, which is currently calculated at 1.5 per cent of the highest normal direct on-way economy class fare. So, through this new offer, we have set special rates on excess baggage on the Muscat/India/Muscat sectors," said Amreesh Choudhary, country manager at the Air India Muscat. "For Goa/Mangalore bound passengers, the discount levels would be approximately 60 per cent. Similarly, for passengers travelling to Guwahati, Raipur, Ranchi and Vishakhapatnam, the discount would be close to 65 per cent," the country manager said further.
This summer, the airline is also all set to offer a series of delights to its passengers, apart from offering special fares, airport upgrade options and holiday packages. Currently, the airlines offers 30kg free baggage allowance for every adult or child passenger, irrespective of the point of sale or from which direction the journey is originating.
Apart from this, Air India also offers 7kg of free hand baggage.
With 24 flights a week, the airline offers daily direct flights to Delhi and Chennai apart from Mumbai and thrice weekly to Hyderabad and Bangalore.
