Looking for discounted prices on flights? If yes, here is a piece of good news for you all. The Tata-owned budget carrier has introduced an offer called Xpress Lite, under which the airline is allowing the fliers to enjoy a lower price range on flights. But, there is a catch!

The offer is valid for only those who prefer to travel without check-in baggage. However, a decent-sized cabin bag is allowed on board.

While sharing the offer on digital platforms, the company in an official release said, “Xpress Check-In enables flyers to avoid queues at counters and baggage belts and comes with a complimentary +3 kg cabin baggage allowance in addition to significantly discounted pre-booked prices for +15 kg and +20 kg check-in baggage allowances to ensure the maximum flexibility and convenience for guests booking on Xpress Lite fares.

Additional Benefits

To make the offer more exciting, passengers traveling on the Xpress Lite fare, are also eligible to unlock an extra 3kg of cabin baggage for free. This can be opted at the time of making the booking, making the standard 7kg cabin baggage heavier on the board.

If the passengers want to go for check-in services later under the discounted slab weighing 15 kg and 20 kilogram, it can be done at the airport counter.

Here’s What Company’s Top Official Says

Reacting about the newly launched offer, Ankur Garg, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India Express, said, “The launch of Xpress Lite fares heralds what we hope will be a new way to fly in India, extending a proposition already popular amongst flyers across the world, including international airlines flying to and from India. It underscores our dedication to continuing to push the envelope, introducing best-in-class offerings for Indian flyers, offering frictionless journeys, and reaffirming our brand ethos of ‘Fly As You Are’.

In Addition, he said, “Xpress Lite Fares across our domestic and international network have the potential to redefine convenience in air travel while delivering exceptional value.
