How much weight we can carry if we are three family members in vistara?Can I put all members clothes in one bag
Hello Karuna ji,
The baggage allowance for Vistara flights usually depends on the fare type and cabin class you’ve booked. If you are traveling as a family of three, it is generally advisable to pack each person’s clothes and belongings separately in individual bags. This will help ensure that you stay within the weight and size limits for each passenger. Combining all the clothes into one bag may exceed the allowed weight or size restrictions.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information, check out the blog or contact the airline’s customer service directly. You will get all the specific details based on your ticket type. Here’s hoping you have a wonderful trip with your family! 🙂
