Available exclusively at Air India’s ticketing counters and check-in desks at airports across India, the service is complimentary for Gold and Platinum members of Air India’s Flying Returns loyalty programme. All other guests can easily purchase the service at reasonable additional fees.
Upon opting for the service, Air India guests will receive instant confirmation of their modified booking on the earlier departing flight and their checked baggage (if any) will be instantly accepted. Any other purchased ancillary services previously added to a booking such as excess baggage, priority handling, upgrade, etc., will be transferred to the earlier flight, except seat selection and special meal requests.
The ‘Fly Prior’ service fees are structured based on flight routes INR 2,199 for flights between major cities, namely Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune and INR 1,499 for flights to or from any other destinations within India.
