Air India Offers Students 10% Off Domestic Fares Until October 2026

Air India has announced a limited-period discount for students, offering a flat 10% off on domestic base fares for eligible bookings made until October 20, 2026. This promotion also includes additional baggage allowance and one complimentary date change, building on the airline's existing year-round student programme.

The year-round programme itself provides up to 10% off eligible domestic and international fares, 10 kg of additional baggage allowance, and one free date change. These benefits continue beyond the current promotional period, subject to applicable terms and conditions. The airline’s network connects students with major education and travel hubs across North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

To qualify for domestic travel benefits, students must be at least 12 years old on the date of travel, enrolled in a full-time course lasting at least one academic year, and studying at an eligible institution recognized or affiliated with a central or state government, educational board, university, or accredited school, college, or university. Valid supporting documents like a student identity card, acceptance letter, or student visa are required for verification at check-in; failure to provide them may result in a misuse recovery amount and applicable taxes.

Students can access this offer via airindia.com or the Air India mobile app by selecting “Student” from the “Concession Type” dropdown menu when booking. Logged-in customers can also receive a 50% reduction in convenience fees, and eligible domestic bookings paid using UPI may qualify for an additional discount of up to ₹1,000 per passenger with the promo code UPIPROMO.

What to watch: Ensure all eligibility criteria and required documentation are met before booking to avail the discounts.
