IndiGo has raised its fares; traveling with a child will now cost an extra ₹1,000..

Here is some important news for those flying with IndiGo. The airline has increased charges for several services. For domestic flights, the fare for children under the age of two has risen from ₹2,000 to ₹3,000. This means parents traveling with such a child will have to pay an extra ₹1,000 per trip.

While infants are not allocated a separate seat on the aircraft, providing their details at the time of booking is mandatory. Every year, approximately one million infants travel by air with their parents in the country. Consequently, this fare hike is estimated to boost IndiGo's revenue by around ₹90 crore.

It is not just the fare for infants that has increased; the charge for excess baggage at the airport has also been raised from ₹700 to ₹800 per kilogram. Additionally, the fee for unaccompanied minors (children traveling alone) has gone up from ₹5,000 to ₹5,999. IndiGo has also hiked charges for priority check-in and boarding; passengers will now have to pay ₹650 instead of ₹450 for this service. The cost for a travel certificate has also increased from ₹200 to ₹300.

In short, apart from the ticket itself, several other services offered by IndiGo have become more expensive. Costs have risen particularly for families traveling with infants, passengers carrying excess baggage, and children traveling alone.
