Problem: Akasa is new (2022) — fewer routes than IndiGo/Air India. International expansion only started in 2024.
Solution: Verify route is still operating before booking. Akasa's app shows real-time route map.
Smaller baggage policy than competitors
Problem: Akasa's 7 kg cabin limit is enforced strictly, including small personal items.
Solution: Weigh cabin bags before airport. Excess goes to checked at counter rate (₹600+/kg).
