Check-in baggage travels inside the aircraft hold. Cabin bags have stricter size limits. Checked bags usually allow greater weight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"323\" data-end=\"536\">Cabin baggage usually holds personal essentials. This includes electronics, medicines, documents, and valuables. Check-in baggage suits clothing and larger items. Certain dangerous items remain restricted in both.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"538\" data-end=\"707\">Most Indian domestic flights allow around 7kg. This applies to standard cabin baggage. Checked allowances vary between airlines. Fare type can also change the allowance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"848\">For example, IndiGo allows 7kg cabin baggage. Its standard allowance commonly includes checked baggage. However, specific fares can differ.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"978\">Air India allows 7kg cabin baggage.
