Passengers who avail themselves of the Upgrade+ feature will enjoy an array of premium benefits, including a selection of gourmet food and beverages, increased baggage allowance, as well as priority check-in, boarding, and baggage handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that fare conditions, cancellation, rebooking fees, and the accrual of Flying Returns points will continue to be based on the original booking of the passenger. It will not be included in the Upgrade+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tata-backed carrier wrote on its website, “You are only a step away from enjoying Air India’s upgrade experience. Once you have successfully upgraded, you can enjoy more legroom, plush seating, personal entertainment screens, gourmet meals, a range of beverages, and other privileges.  Just sit back, relax, and indulge.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
