How much do babies and children pay for flights? Here's the complete breakdown of infant, child, and adult age cutoffs for every Indian airline.
Age Categories

- 🍼 Baby items: 1 stroller + 1 car seat can be checked free on most airlines
- 🪑 No child discount: Unlike trains, most Indian airlines charge the same fare for children (2-12) as adults
Airline-Specific Notes
- IndiGo: Infant fare = ₹1,500 flat on most routes, no separate seat
