Air India Express has launched hand-baggage only Xpress Lite fares. These fares are for those travelling without any check-in baggage.
Xpress Lite fares
Xpress Lite fares do not include check-in baggage and will be lower than regular fares. These fares include 10 kilograms of hand-baggage, 3 kilograms more than the normal. Xpress Check-In enables flyers to avoid queues at counters and baggage belts. These fares are available only on the airline’s website and mobile app.
Passengers looking to avail check-in baggage services later can also opt for pre-book additional ‘check-in baggage’ allowances at significantly discounted rates for 15 kg and 20 kg excess baggage slabs. They can also purchase check-in baggage services at the airline’s counters at the airport.

It underscores our dedication to continue 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’.
said Ankur Garg, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India Express.
The carrier says that the “Xpress Lite Fares across the domestic and international network have the potential to redefine convenience in air travel while delivering exceptional value”.
