IndiGo passengers will have to shell out extra for web check-in

Passengers of IndiGo will have to shell out up to INR800 (US$11.32) extra if they opt for web check-in, as the airline has revised its policy. "As per our revised policy all seats are chargeable for web check-in. Alternatively you may check-in at the airport for free. Seats will be assigned as per the availability," IndiGo said Sunday. The airline reported its first quarterly loss at INR6.51m in July-September period amid high fuel cost and rupee depreciation. The revised policy is effective from Nov 14, it said. Accordingly, IndiGo will charge between INR100-800 for such selection online, depending upon the position of the seat. For web check-in of a first-row seat, a passenger will have to pay as much as INR800 extra. Earlier, the carrier charged only for particular types of seats like a window or aisle seat or seat having extra legroom. <br/>
