Air India introduced a new service called “Fly Prior” to provide more flexibility for domestic travelers.

Now, Air India passengers can board an earlier flight, up to 12 hours before their originally scheduled departure, on the same day as their booking.

This option is perfect for those who need to adjust their plans at the last minute, whether to attend an extra meeting or reach their destination early.

The service is available at Air India airport counters and check-in counters across India. ‘Fly Prior’ is free for Gold and Platinum members of Air India’s Flying Returns loyalty program, while other passengers can purchase it for a reasonable fee.

The price of “Fly Prior” varies depending on the route:

• Rs 2,199 for flights between major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and others.
• Rs 1,499 for flights to or from other destinations in India.

Once chosen, passengers will receive instant confirmation of their new flight and any checked baggage will be processed immediately. Additional services such as excess baggage or priority processing will also be transferred to the new flight (excluding seat selection and special meal requests).

With this new service, Air India continues to improve the convenience of its customers, making travel smoother and more adaptable to changes of plans.
