Flights between India and United States of America generally use the weight-concept baggage allowance on sectors involving India and the piece-concept allowance on transpacific sectors, with your entitlement shown on your ticket. In Economy Class, you can usually check in at least one bag within your ticketed allowance, plus cabin baggage within size and weight limits. In Premium Economy Class, your checked baggage allowance is higher than in Economy Class, and you may bring cabin baggage as specified on your booking. In Business Class, and in Suites where available, you enjoy an increased checked baggage allowance along with a more generous cabin baggage entitlement. Your exact allowance depends on your itinerary, fare type, and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, so please check your booking confirmation or manage booking page before you travel.

If you are not a KrisFlyer member, or your number is not linked in time, you can purchase a paid Wi-Fi plan on board. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.
