SpiceJet considers sports equipment, skiing equipment, golf bags, bicycles, surfboards, and LCD and LED TVs exceeding 39 inches as special baggage. Special baggage comes with a handling fee which differs for domestic and international flights.

To add special baggage items to check-in baggage, SpiceJet charges INR 1,000 for domestic flights and INR 2,000 for international flights. These charges are applied in addition to any excess baggage charges. Make sure you check the SpiceJet website for up-to-date costs before you travel, and book your special baggage in advance online rather than at the airport.

Charges for special baggage when the flight originates outside of the country are charged in the respective currency.

SpiceJet baggage FAQs

SpiceJet offers a hand baggage only fare which you can choose if you’re happy to travel light. If you choose this fare, you can bring your permitted cabin baggage but cannot bring any additional items or a hold bag. If you choose SpiceJet’s hand baggage only fare but arrive at the airport with check-in baggage, you’ll be charged a fee.

There are some restricted items that you will not be able to take onto your SpiceJet flight in your hand luggage, these include:

• Liquids, gels and pastes in containers over 100ml in size

If you know you’re going to be carrying more luggage on your flight, you can book and pay for it at the time of booking your fare. If you arrive at the airport with more than your check-in baggage allowance, you can purchase excess baggage.

SpiceJet charges INR 600 for each additional kg on its domestic flights. International flights operated by SpiceJet charge for excess baggage according to the destination.

If your luggage is lost or damaged when flying with SpiceJet, you should report it to the airline and file a claim.
