Jet Airways to charge more for extra luggage

19 Dec 2012 Evaluate

India’s premier international airline, Jet Airways has increased the fees on excess baggage to encourage flyers to travel light. It has decided to hike the charge on excess baggage from Rs 200 to Rs 250 on each additional kg.

The company has taken this initiative to discourage passengers from carrying excess luggage, as lighter the aircraft the lesser is the fuel burn. On an average, passengers carry about 13 kgs of luggage and the increase in fees will not impact them.
