In case of Booking two (2) or more Sectors under different PNRs, it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient time-interval between the two flights, as their carriage may involve certain unavoidable circumstances or factors including a change in aircraft, flight delays or cancellation, issues in relation to Checked-in Baggage, operational issues or change in carriers at a Stopover. If a Customer misses his/her connecting flight due to such circumstances or factors, in a prior sector, IndiGo shall not be liable for such missed connection, in any manner whatsoever.

IndiGo has ensured that Customers are able to check-in for their flights by way of a tele-check-in over the phone, or online using a web browser or IndiGo’s mobile application, and download their baggage tags/baggage identification numbers prior to arriving at the airport.

Customers can do a web check-in on the Website between 24 (twenty-four) hours up to 75 (seventy-five) minutes prior to the scheduled departure of their flights. It shall be the duty of Customers to ensure that the Customer’s Checked-in Baggage displays a Baggage Identification Tag at least 75 (seventy-five) minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure of the Customer’s flight.

Customers must be present at the boarding gate no later than the time specified at the time they check-in or any subsequent announcements made at the airport. Mere check-in or issuance of a boarding pass does not guarantee boarding unless a Customer adheres to all the requirements including the timelines mentioned in relation to boarding in the Conditions of Carriage. A Customer understands and acknowledges that such announcements may only be made in the event of a change of the boarding gate or change in the schedule of boarding and may be made orally through the airport sound systems, or through display/ notifications on the digital screens placed at airports by the airport authorities.

A Customer understands and acknowledges that IndiGo or its staff is not obligated to reach out to the Customer in the event that the Customer fails to be present at the boarding gate, in the manner required in terms of these Conditions of Carriage. IndiGo is not liable to any Customer who fails to report at the boarding gate for any reason whatsoever.
