Have you ever been surprised by how much airlines charge to reschedule a flight? Or shocked to hear that a few kilos of excess baggage will cost you a few thousand rupees? So have we. And we have often found ourselves wishing for an easier way to find out about these charges than rummaging through dozens of pages on airline websites.

So we went ahead and created one. We extracted all ‘ancillary’ fees from deep within the bowels of airline websites, and put them all in one easy-to-use guide that covers the fees charged by every airline in India. Here’s an excerpt:
