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 ..

New Delhi, Jul 29: Air Commodore Hilal Ahmad Rather has become a buzz name in Kashmir overnight. Hilal saw off the first batch of Rafale jets which took off from France to India on Monday. Among other things, he has also been associated with the weaponisation of the Rafale aircraft for acclimatisation to Indian requirements.

Hilal is presently India's Air Attache in France.

The career details of this officer of the Indian Air Force (IAF) read like the decoration scroll of the best flying officer anywhere in the world.

Born in the south Kashmir's Anantnag district to middle-class parents, Hilal's father, late Mohammad Abdullah Rather retired as a deputy superintendent of police (Dy SP) in J&K police department. He has three sisters and is the only son of his parents. Hilal studied in Sainik School in Nagrota town of Jammu district.

He was commissioned in IAF as a fighter pilot on December 17, 1988, became flight lieutenant in 1993, wing commander in 2004, group captain in 2016 and air commodore in 2019.

He graduated from defence services staff college (DSSC). He also graduated from air war college (USA) with distinction. He won the sword of honour in NDA. Hilal is also the recipient of Vayu Sena Medal and Vishisht Seva medal.

With an impeccable record of 3,000 accident-free flying hours on mirage-2000, MIG-21 and Kiran aircraft, Hilal's name will now forever be associated with Rafale in India.
