Our notes on IndiGo and Akasa Air
IndiGo and Akasa Air agree on the weight: one piece of hand baggage of up to 7 kg, with length, width and height adding up to 115 cm at most. They differ on the sides and on the second item. IndiGo also caps the bag at 55 × 35 × 25 cm and counts handles and wheels; Akasa Air gives only the 115 cm total, so the shape of the case is freer.
Akasa Air adds a personal item of up to 3 kg that fits under the seat in front, such as a handbag, a camera or a laptop in a slim sleeve. IndiGo lists no such second item, but asks for soft bags without wheels to go under the seat, except at emergency exits and in the first row. IndiGo also notes that the rules depend on the flight and that the booking confirmation gives the exact allowance.
