Recent Route Highlights
Two routes stand out in 2026 as examples of IndiGo’s network ambition.
Chennai–Réunion Island launched on 29 April 2026, making Réunion IndiGo’s 46th international destination and the only direct India–Réunion connection currently operating. It runs three times weekly (Wednesday, Friday, Sunday) on an A320.
On the Delhi–Istanbul sector, IndiGo deployed the Airbus A321XLR from 19 April 2026, replacing its earlier one-stop routing with a true non-stop service. The aircraft cuts nearly two hours from the journey and carries 183 economy and 12 IndiGoStretch seats, with hot meals served to all passengers.
IndiGo International Flights Baggage Allowance
IndiGo’s international checked baggage allowance varies by route — it is not a flat figure for all destinations. The amounts below are for standard (Saver) economy fares; upgrading to Flexi or Stretch adds more.
Checked Baggage by Route
- Gulf & Middle East, Hong Kong, Istanbul: 30 kg
- Southeast Asia (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali, Jakarta): 30 kg on most fares
- Nepal (Kathmandu): 20 kg
- Other international routes: Typically 20–25 kg — verify at booking
The maximum weight per individual bag is 32 kg regardless of route. You are allowed up to 2 pieces of checked baggage, subject to the overall weight limit for your route.
On IndiGoStretch seats, the checked baggage allowance increases significantly — up to 40 kg total on most international sectors. Always confirm your exact allowance in the booking confirmation, since the figure is printed there and is route-specific.
If you need more than your included allowance, pre-booking excess baggage online is considerably cheaper than paying at the airport. Options are available in blocks of 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, and 30 kg. For students carrying extra baggage, IndiGo’s allowances for student fares and discounts may be worth checking before booking.
Cabin Baggage
IndiGo allows one cabin bag (up to 7 kg, max 115 cm in combined dimensions) and one personal item such as a laptop bag or small handbag (up to 3 kg) for all passengers — domestic and international alike. The combined cabin allowance is 10 kg.
Oversized, heavy, or special items (sports equipment, musical instruments) follow separate rules listed on IndiGo’s baggage policy page.
How to Book IndiGo International Flights
IndiGo international flights can be booked through several channels, all offering access to the same inventory and fare families.
Booking Channels
- Website: goindigo.in — the primary channel; all fare types available
- Mobile app: iOS and Android app — same inventory as the website
- WhatsApp (6Eskai): IndiGo’s AI booking assistant at +91 70651 45858 — handles bookings, seat selection, and web check-in via WhatsApp

Fare Families on International Routes
IndiGo offers four main fare tiers on international routes, each with different baggage, flexibility, and meal inclusions:
- Saver: Lowest base fare; checked baggage and meals purchased separately
- Flexi / Flexi+: Includes checked baggage, free seat selection, and more flexible rebooking; meals included on select international routes
- UpFront: Extra-legroom seats in the front cabin; additional baggage and priority boarding
- IndiGoStretch: IndiGo’s premium cabin available on longer international routes (Delhi–Istanbul, Delhi–Athens, and others); includes hot meals, beverages, and enhanced baggage allowance
IndiGoStretch on the Delhi–Istanbul and Delhi–Athens routes includes complimentary hot meals and beverages for all passengers, with alcoholic drinks also served in the Stretch cabin.
Web Check-In for International Flights
Online check-in for IndiGo international flights opens 24 hours before departure and closes 75 minutes before scheduled departure. This window is narrower than domestic (which opens at 48 hours), so don’t leave it for the last hour.
At the airport, IndiGo recommends arriving at least 4 hours before departure for international flights. Check-in counters close 75 minutes before departure, and the boarding gate closes 25 minutes before departure.
IndiGo Codeshare Partnerships: Reach Beyond 46 Destinations
Through codeshare agreements, IndiGo connects its passengers to a wide range of additional destinations — cities in Europe, North America, East Asia, and Australia that IndiGo does not serve with its own aircraft.
Turkish Airlines — The Largest Partnership
IndiGo’s codeshare with Turkish Airlines is by far its most expansive. By connecting through Istanbul (IST), IndiGo passengers can reach around 33 destinations in Europe and major US cities including New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco — on a single ticket.
The partnership deepened significantly when IndiGo launched non-stop Delhi–Istanbul service on the A321XLR in April 2026. The morning departure from Delhi is timed for same-day European connections at Istanbul.
IndiGo has indicated that its codeshare with Turkish Airlines will continue, underscoring its strategic importance.
Other Codeshare Partners
Beyond Turkish Airlines, IndiGo’s codeshare network includes partnerships that open up long-haul connections on a single booking:
- Qatar Airways: Connections via Doha
- British Airways & Virgin Atlantic: UK and transatlantic routes
- Air France & KLM: Europe via Paris and Amsterdam
- American Airlines: US domestic network via transatlantic gateways
- Qantas & Japan Airlines: Australia and East Asia connections
- Malaysia Airlines: Southeast Asia beyond IndiGo’s own routes
On codeshare bookings operated by Turkish Airlines or Qantas, you can earn IndiGo BluChip loyalty points at the standard rate of 8 BluChips per INR 100 spent. Note that BluChips cannot be redeemed for codeshare segments — only for IndiGo-operated flights. See the IndiGo BluChip loyalty programme guide for full earning and redemption rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does IndiGo fly internationally?
Yes. As of June 2026, IndiGo operates to 46 international destinations across the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. It is India’s largest airline by fleet size and operates more international routes than any other Indian low-cost carrier.
What is IndiGo’s international baggage allowance?
It depends on the route. Gulf, Southeast Asia, and Istanbul routes typically include 30 kg of checked baggage on economy Saver fares. Kathmandu routes are lower at 20 kg. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact figure, as it is route-specific. Cabin baggage is 7 kg + 3 kg personal item for all international passengers.
Can IndiGo take me to the US or Australia?
Not on a direct IndiGo flight — but through codeshare partnerships with Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul) you can reach New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco; and through Qantas you can connect to Australian cities. These are bookable as a single itinerary on goindigo.in.
When does IndiGo’s web check-in open for international flights?
Web check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes 75 minutes before departure. This is different from domestic flights, where check-in opens at 48 hours. Arrive at the airport at least 4 hours before your international departure to allow time for document checks and security.
Which IndiGo routes have IndiGoStretch (business class)?
IndiGoStretch is available on longer international routes including Delhi–Istanbul, Delhi–Athens, and a growing number of others as of 2026. It offers extra legroom, hot meals, and beverages. Check goindigo.in at search time — the fare class will appear if the route supports it.
