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 ..

Kannur, Jan 23: A member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been arrested for attempting to create unrest in Kerala by hurling crude bombs at RSS office and police picket. The miscreants had reportedly planned to pass the blame on others.

The bomb attack took place of January 16 in Kerala’s Kannur. The accused Prabesh, an RSS hardliner, was arrested from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

According to the Kerala police Prabesh hurled steel bombs towards the police picket in front of Kathirur Manoj Smrithi Kendram, an RSS office.

"He threw bombs during the wee hours of January 16 morning. Following the arrest he has confessed that his aim was RSS office. Kannur, being politically sensitive region, any attack on political party offices will be regarded as an act by the opponent," Kathirur SI Nijeesh said.

"We had a police picket in the region for a few months now. We are assuming he wanted to create unrest in the area by removing the police from the spot. We could contain the situation because of the CCTV visuals. He was identified immediately after the incident. Following the attack he went to Coimbatore and was hiding there. Our team nabbed him from Coimbatore," he said.

The police have also said that the accused Prabesh had many criminal cases pending against him including those under Explosive Substances Act, 1883. He was nabbed by a team lead by Kathirur SI Nijeesh, CPO Rohith and Vijeesh.

The RSS office in the region is named after Kathirur Manoj a senior karyakarta (worker) who was allegedly killed by the CPI(M) activists in 2014. Kathirur Manoj was the prime accused in the attempt to murder of senior CPI(M) leader P Jayarajan in 1999.
