Which is the largest domestic airline in India?

IndiGo. Based on Kiwi.com booking data (last 12 months as of May 2026), IndiGo holds 54.6% share of Kiwi.com domestic India bookings — well ahead of Air India (35.1%), SpiceJet (7.0%), Air India Express (6.8%) and Akasa Air (5.0%).

What is the busiest domestic route in India?

Based on Kiwi.com booking data (last 12 months as of May 2026), the most-booked Indian domestic city pairs on Kiwi.com are Mumbai–New Delhi, New Delhi–Goa and Mumbai–Goa.

How early should I arrive for a domestic flight in India?

Aim for 2 hours before departure. Major hubs (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai) can have long security and check-in queues, especially during early-morning peaks and over festival periods (Diwali, Christmas/New Year).

What is the cheapest domestic airline in India?

Based on Kiwi.com booking data (last 12 months as of May 2026), IndiGo, SpiceJet and Akasa Air typically offer the lowest fares on Indian domestic routes when booked in advance. Air India Express also competes on low fares on shorter routes.

How far in advance should I book domestic flights in India?

Generally 3–8 weeks ahead gives the best price-to-availability balance. For festival-period travel (Diwali in October/November, Christmas/New Year, summer holidays in May/June), book 8–12 weeks ahead — fares climb sharply close in.

What's the baggage allowance for domestic flights in India?

Standard economy on most Indian airlines includes 7 kg cabin baggage plus 15 kg checked. IndiGo, SpiceJet and Akasa charge for excess weight; Air India usually includes more on premium fares. Verify the fare-specific allowance at booking.

What's the difference between full-service and low-cost domestic carriers in India?

Full-service (Air India) usually includes a checked bag, meal and assigned seat on standard fares. Low-cost (IndiGo, SpiceJet, Akasa, Air India Express) charge separately for checked baggage, meals and seat selection — the headline fare is lower, but add-ons can narrow the gap.
