The free baggage allowance on international flights varies from market to market,\u201d the spokesperson said.<br \/>\nIn other domestic airlines also, passengers are allowed to carry 15 kg of cabin baggage without additional charge.<br \/>\nThe Air India spokesperson said the fare families are designed to let passengers choose the kind of fare and services that best suit their requirements, given that travellers today have varied preferences, and a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer ideal.<br \/>\nElaborating on the proposition, the spokesperson said that for example, the price difference between \u2018Comfort Plus\u2019 and \u2018Flex\u2019 fares would typically be around Rs 1,000 in a domestic sector like Delhi-Mumbai, with the \u2018Flex\u2019 fare providing the value of nearly Rs 9,000, including 10 kilograms extra baggage and zero change or cancellation fees.<br \/>\nThe introduction of fare families is in response to customer feedback and Air India\u2019s own comprehensive study. It is also benchmarked against the offerings of relevant competition in each of the markets we have introduced it in, the spokesperson added.<br \/>\nTata Group has embarked on an ambitious plan to revive the fortunes of the loss-making Air India, which it had acquired from the Government in 2022.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16282\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16282\" style=\"width:
