An AI spokesperson said: “Last year, we introduced a menu-based pricing model, or branded fare family, in line with global airline industry norms. The Air India fare family in the name is a grouping of fares that offer different levels of benefits and fare restrictions at different price points. Fare families are designed to help you choose the fare and service type that best suits your needs. ”
Air India's economy class passengers on domestic flights opt for cheaper fares and are now allowed up to 25 kg of checked baggage than before.
“Bundle fares are cheaper and offer much more value to guests, giving them more choice. For example, the price difference between a ‘Comfort Plus’ fare and a ‘Flex’ fare is Normally around Rs 1,000, the 'Flex' fare can give you a value of nearly Rs 9,000 including 10kg of excess baggage, no changes or additional charges. Cancellation fees, increased loyalty points, and expanded unreserved seating options. ”

Currently, economy class on domestic flights has a baggage allowance of 15 kg in both the Comfort and Comfort+ fare families, and 25 kg in Flex. Business class baggage allowance for domestic flights is 25kg to 35kg. Free baggage allowances on international flights vary by market, the spokesperson said.
