Weight concept or piece concept?
Air India Express uses the weight concept: your checked allowance is a total weight that you can spread across bags, subject to the per-bag safety limit. The table below shows the allowance for each fare brand.
In plain terms
Reading the table from the cheapest fare up: with Economy Lite (domestic) you can check Not included (0 kg); with Economy Value (domestic) you can check 15 kg; with Economy Classic (domestic) you can check 15 kg; with Economy Flex (domestic) you can check 20 kg; with Business (domestic) you can check 25 kg. Anything beyond the line for your own fare is charged under the excess rules, so the fare you booked — not the one you nearly booked — is the one that decides what you pay at the desk.
