Yesterday, on board 6E724 from Goa to Chandigarh, my bag showed 18 kg on one belt, 16 kg on the other and 15 kg per third. When I questioned the mismatch, Indigo employees simply replied, “Sir, 15 kg must be bad, 18 is the right weight.” Seriously? What is the justification? In the end, I paid the INR11,900 for additional luggage including INR1 500 just for transporting an umbrella! ”
“To verify it, I even weighed the same bag in the hotel and it was exactly 15 kg, which proves that their belts will inflate weight by 2-3 kg.” Dhillon wrote on the social media platform.
