You'll need a 6-character booking reference (PNR) and a valid travel document (passport or EU/EEA national ID).

Common IndiGo check-in problems
Free seat selection only at check-in (last 60 min)
Problem: IndiGo charges for advance seat selection on most fare types — only random allocation at the 60-minute window is free.
Solution: Either pay for advance seat (₹200–₹600) or accept random seat at the 60-min mark.
Cabin baggage strict 7 kg limit
Problem: IndiGo enforces strict 7 kg cabin baggage including personal items — combined weight is checked at gate.
Solution: Weigh bags before airport. Excess cabin bag → checked baggage at gate (₹600+ per kg).
Web check-in mandatory at most airports
Problem: Many Indian airports (DEL T1, BLR, BOM T1) require web check-in — counter check-in costs ₹500+.
Solution: Always check in online via web or app, save boarding pass to phone wallet (DigiYatra app integration).
