Furthermore, this facility will not be available through travel portals and the airline’s call centre. Customers cannot avail the 6E double seat booking once the original seat is booked.
The airline further added that airport charges like PSF, UDF will not be charged under this scheme.
However, this booking will only be an airline component, GST will be charged and therefore, will be at a lower price rate than the total fare paid for the original booking.
