IndiGo sells a fare that covers the flight itself and then offers a long menu of optional extras. Under a 2026 DGCA circular on unbundling, the airline treats each of them as a separate paid service that you may skip when you book. This post lists what each extra gives you and what it costs on IndiGo's own pages today. All prices are in Indian rupees, include tax and are charged per passenger for each flight sector unless noted. The ranges are wide because the exact amount depends on the route, the flight and the date.
Seats and bundles
| Extra | What you get | Domestic | International |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seat Select | Standard seat (a free seat is allotted anyway at check-in) | 200 to 1,700 | 200 to 2,000 |
| Seat Select | Emergency-exit and extra-legroom seat | 1,000 to 2,000 | 1,000 to 5,000 |
| Seat Select | UpFront seat (with an upgrade) | 1,999 to 2,999 | 1,999 to 9,999 |
| 6E Prime | Seat from a limited standard pool, snack and drink, plus Fast Forward | 999 to 1,499 | 1,499 to 2,399 |
| 6E Seat & Eat | Seat from a limited standard pool, snack and drink | 799 to 1,199 | 1,199 to 1,999 |
Stretch seats come free with the IndiGoStretch and IndiGoStretch+ business fares. Armed-forces customers on the Saver fare can can save up to 10% 6E Prime. Neither bundle is sold on corporate, SME, Flexi Plus, UpFront or group bookings, and each has to be bought for everyone on the same booking reference. A 6E Double seat lets one person reserve two seats.
Priority at the airport: Fast Forward
Fast Forward gives you priority check-in and lets you board at any time before the gate closes. The standard price is 650 for a domestic sector and 850 for an international one, and pre-booking can bring it down by as much as 70%. The service runs only at a list of airports that IndiGo publishes and changes from time to time.
Baggage and sports equipment
- Pre-paid excess baggage can be bought on the website or by phone up to 2 hours before departure. International customers choose from 5, 10, 15 and 30 kg slabs. IndiGo's separate baggage-rates tables give the price for each slab.
- Lite fare: this fare carries no free checked bag. A single checked bag of up to 15 kg costs 2,000 on domestic sectors and 3,500 on international sectors, the same whether you pre-book or pay at the airport.
- Extra pieces: a pre-booked additional piece costs 800 (maximum two pieces) and 1,000 at the airport. This covers the handling fee only; weight-based excess charges come on top.
- Sports equipment handling: up to three items per passenger per journey (golf bags, bicycles, skis, surfboards and similar). Pre-booked, it is 2,000 domestic and 3,500 international for each item; at the airport it is 2,500 and 4,000. ATR aircraft do not carry this service.
- Armed forces: serving and retired defence and paramilitary personnel get an extra 5 kg on selected fares.
Flexibility and protection
| Extra | What it does | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 6E Fare Hold | Locks the fare for a set window (6 to 96 hours, depending on how far ahead you fly) while you finish your plans | from 49 |
| IndiGo Switch | Waives the change fee for one date change requested over 72 hours ahead; you still pay any fare difference | 199 to 799 domestic, 199 to 2,199 international |
| Zero Cancellation | Insurance that refunds the airline's cancellation fee, up to 5,000, for domestic trips cancelled at least a day before departure; Indian residents only | from 749 |
| IndiGo Early | Moves you to an earlier domestic flight that departs within 4 hours of your booked one, only at the airport and only if seats are free | 1,800 (non-refundable) |
Comfort items
On international sectors you can pre-book a blanket, pillow, eye shade and dental kit up to 24 hours before departure. Pre-ordered alcohol (two drinks of one type per order, international flights only) must be booked 72 hours ahead. Both are non-refundable once bought. IndiGo's page for Travel Assistance, the trip-protection product, shows only terms and conditions at the moment and no fixed price.
What changed from the older list
An earlier version of this article described the 6E Tiffin meal service. IndiGo now presents pre-ordered food as its in-flight menu, so look for it under that name. The same earlier list also included delayed and lost baggage protection, the 6E Bagport home delivery service and gift vouchers. We could not find these on IndiGo's current add-on pages, so we have taken them out. If one is offered to you during booking, read its terms there first.
