Earlier this month, Air India launched a new ‘Basic’ fare category for domestic economy travelers, offering a more affordable ticket option.
This new choice removes complimentary in-flight meals for a lower fare, reducing costs by approximately ₹ 500 to ₹ 600 per trip. It still provides a 15 kg checked baggage allowance, a 7 kg cabin baggage allowance, and complimentary tea or coffee onboard.
The fare is currently being tested on selected short-haul domestic routes such as Delhi–Chandigarh, Delhi–Amritsar, and Bengaluru–Hyderabad.
