Air India still offers some services free of cost

In an age where airlines, mainly domestic airlines in India, are charging for any additional service, the national carrier Air India seems to offer some for free. For example, the airline does not charge for pre booking of seats.
‘The aviation regulator has directed that airlines can offer only up to 25% of seats for pre-booking. So at most, we are looking at raising Rs 5,000 from a flight through this route. It makes more sense to sell one more seat for this price than charge for pre-booking. We are unlikely to have seat selection charges for domestic flights and may only introduce the same for international ones’, said an airline official.
