IndiGo vs Air India — carry-on baggage compared | CabinPax

Carry-on rules side by side: maximum dimensions, weight allowance, personal item. Data updated April 2026.

• IndiGo: 55x35x25 cm · 7 kg
• Air India: 40x20x55 cm · 10 kg

IndiGo versus Air India is essentially a clash of business models. The carry-on rules sit downstream of that choice, and the gap between the two policies is rarely accidental.

On weight, Air India comes out on top (10 kg versus 7 kg). For travellers packing electronics, books or sample products, those couple of extra kilos make a real difference.
