Quick tips for Air India travelers

Booking: Check fares on different days and use flexible dates. Early morning or late-night flights can be cheaper. Use the airline’s official site to book if you want easier changes or refunds—third-party sites sometimes have stricter rules.

Check-in: Use online check-in to save time at the airport. It opens 24 to 48 hours before departure on most flights. If you need a specific seat, book it early—cheap fares often block seat selection until you pay.

Baggage: Always verify baggage allowance at booking. Domestic and international rules differ. Measure and weigh your bags at home to avoid fees at the counter. If you’re close to the limit, consider paying for an extra kilo online—it's often cheaper than paying at the desk.

Loyalty program: If you fly often, sign up for the airline’s frequent flyer program. Points add up and can get you upgrades, lounge access, or free flights faster than you think. Check expiry rules so your miles don’t vanish.

Delays and refunds: Keep receipts for extras like meals or hotels if a delay is the airline’s fault. Claiming online is faster than waiting at the desk. For refunds, use the airline portal and be patient—processing can take a few weeks depending on the fare class.
