India's largest airline, nonstop from Nairobi to Mumbai, with a dense domestic web beyond it.

IndiGo is India’s largest airline and it flies Nairobi to Mumbai nonstop, which makes it the quickest door into the country and usually the keenest. Beyond Mumbai its network is dense enough that wherever in India you are actually going, there is a sector that gets you there.
Low-cost is a fare structure, not a verdict on an airline, and fare structure is exactly where a desk earns its keep. What the fare includes, what it does not, what a bag costs at the airport instead of at the booking, whether the sector after Mumbai sits on the same ticket or a separate one: all of that goes to you in writing before you pay, rather than in a footnote afterwards.
That last one catches people out. A journey assembled from two separate bookings is not a through-journey at all. If the first leg is late, the second simply leaves without you, and nobody owes you anything. We tell you which of the two you are looking at. If the full-service alternative works out better once the bags are in, we will say so too.
Questions people put to us about this airline
Baggage, alliances and how the ticket actually gets issued. The answers come from what the airline itself publishes, and we confirm what applies to your own fare before you pay.
What baggage allowance comes with an IndiGo ticket from Nairobi?
IndiGo publishes the Nairobi allowance separately from its general international one: 25kg checked on this sector, against 20kg across two pieces on most other international routes, with one cabin bag of up to 7kg. Extra weight is bought in advance in fixed blocks of 5, 10, 15 and 30kg. Low-cost is a fare structure rather than a verdict on an airline, and this is the part of the structure that decides whether the keen fare is really the cheaper one.
Is IndiGo in an alliance, and can I earn anything?
No alliance, so an alliance card has nothing to credit here. Its own programme is IndiGo BluChip. Points collect on IndiGo’s own flights and on the codeshare sectors it markets, but they spend only on flights IndiGo itself operates, which is a distinction worth knowing before you count on them. The useful question on an India trip is usually not points anyway: it is whether the sector after Mumbai sits on the same ticket as the international leg. We tell you which, in writing, before you pay.
How does an IndiGo ticket get issued here?
Send the route and the dates. What comes back is the fare with everything that is not in it listed next to it: the bag, the seat, whether the sector after Mumbai sits on the same ticket or a separate one. That last point is the one that catches people, because two separate bookings are not a through-journey at all. The ticket is issued in Nairobi by an IATA-accredited agent. How ticketing works here has the rest.

Same desk
The airline changes; the desk does not
However this journey is routed, the ticket is issued in Nairobi by an IATA-accredited agent: est. 1994, two offices you can walk into, and a person who answers when a connection drops at six in the morning. How ticketing works here (what happens after you ask, and the questions people put to us before they commit) is set out in full on the flights page.
