Pay Rs 900 for extra cabin baggage on Jet Airways

Mangaluru, Jul 14: In a bid to discourage passengers from carrying extra hand bags, Jet Airways has decided to charge Rs 900 apiece in case of excess cabin baggage.

jetAs per new rules consumers can take one hand bag, weighing seven (economy class) or 10 kg (business class), a laptop bag. Women can carry a purse as well without any charge. Anything beyond this will be charged at Rs 900.

A Jet spokesman said that some guests carry hand baggage over and above limit, resulting in lack of storage in the overhead compartments in the aircraft. This leads to boarding delays, causes inconvenience to other guests and affects the airline's on-time performance.

Jet Airways will therefore ensure adherence to the carriage of cabin baggage policy for the convenience of all guests, he added.

The airline also reiterated that the move was not aimed for revenue generation.

Meanwhile, duty-free bags will be exempted from the tag of additional cabin baggage charges, the airline informed travel agents.

Baggage claim

Free check-in baggage limit (economy class): 15 kg. It was revised from 20 kg some time ago.

Free cabin baggage (economy class): 7 kg

Good move....... to make the journey comfort..... If the Passengers have excess baggage, they can use cargo facilities.... Just plan in advance, and dispatch the cargo well before departure, and make ones and others travel enjoyable ..

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.
