Recent Traveller Feedback
I'm a student and booked the Akasa Air student fare for my flight from Kolkata to Delhi. Instead of the regular 15kg, I got 25kg of checked baggage included. That was a huge help because I was moving back home for the holidays and had a lot of stuff. I just had to show my student ID at check-in and it was no problem at all.
I flew from Mumbai to Delhi on Akasa Air and my checked bag came in at 17kg, 2kg over the 15kg limit. The check-in agent charged me ₹700 per kg, so ₹1,400 total. I wish I had pre-booked excess baggage online — it would have been cheaper. Next time I'll weigh my bag at home before leaving for the airport.

I was travelling with two bags on Akasa Air from Bangalore to Hyderabad. I only had 1 free checked bag, so the second one cost me ₹1,000 at the airport. I later found out I could have pre-booked it online for the same price, but at least I didn't have to worry about it at check-in. The staff were helpful and got both bags tagged quickly.
