Air India Express has launched a festive-season offer for students, providing a 10% discount on domestic flight tickets, 25 kg of checked baggage (up from the standard 15 kg), and date changes for Rs 99. The offer is available until October 20, 2026, through the airline's website and mobile app.
Eligible passengers must be aged 12 or above and hold a valid student photo ID from a recognised educational institution. The ID must be shown at check-in. Additionally, students booking with the code "VIBES" can get an extra 5% off.
Separately, a promotion for eligible Visa debit and credit cardholders offers up to Rs 600 off on domestic and international flights using the code "VISAFLY". That offer runs until October 9, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The offer locks students into booking directly with Air India Express to get the Rs 99 date change, bypassing third-party travel sites. The 10 kg extra baggage allowance is the headline benefit for students travelling with luggage for semesters or holidays. The long validity until 2026 suggests the airline expects sustained student demand, possibly to fill seats on its growing network of 500-plus daily flights. Watch whether other Indian carriers, particularly IndiGo and SpiceJet, match with their own student discounts in the coming weeks.
