What is cabin baggage?
Cabin baggage, also called hand baggage, is the bag you carry into the aircraft cabin. It goes in the overhead locker. A ladies purse or laptop bag usually counts as a separate small item.
The 7 kg rule
IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, SpiceJet and Akasa all limit cabin baggage to 7 kg on domestic flights. Staff often weigh bags at check-in and the boarding gate.
IndiGo Lite fare
The IndiGo Lite fare includes cabin baggage only, with no checked bag. It suits short trips with one 7 kg bag. If you need a checked bag, a regular fare is usually cheaper than paying for the bag at the airport.
