The Cabin Bag Limit Is Not One Number
Every budget airline in India publishes a cabin baggage allowance, but that number changes depending on which fare class you booked. IndiGo's base Saver fare allows 7 kg of cabin baggage. Buy up to a Flexi fare and that rises to 10 kg. SpiceJet's SpiceSaver fare caps cabin bags at 7 kg, while its SpiceFlexi tier allows the same 10 kg. Air India Express runs a similar split. The number you see on the booking confirmation is the floor, not a fixed rule, and most travellers read it once and forget it.
