The Air India Student Offer gives eligible students a chance to save on flight bookings with a flat 10% discount on domestic base fares for tickets booked by October 20, 2026.
The airline is also continuing its student travel benefits, which include an additional 10 kg of baggage allowance and one complimentary date change on eligible bookings.
The offer could help students travelling to another city for college admissions, internships, placements or semester breaks.
However, eligibility conditions apply, and travellers should check the fare rules before completing their booking.
Air India Student Offer: Key Benefits
The limited-period promotion provides a flat 10% discount on eligible domestic base fares for bookings made until October 20, 2026.
This discount is available on eligible one-way and round-trip bookings, subject to the applicable fare conditions.
In addition to the promotional discount, Air India’s year-round student programme offers up to 10% off eligible domestic and international fares.
Eligible students can also carry an extra 10 kg of baggage and receive one complimentary date change, subject to the programme’s terms and conditions.
These additional benefits can be useful for students carrying books, clothing and other essentials between their hometowns and educational institutions.
The complimentary date change may also provide flexibility if travel plans need to be adjusted.
Who Can Get the Student Flight Discount?
For domestic travel, passengers must be at least 12 years old on the date of travel and enrolled in a full-time course lasting at least one academic year.
Their school, college or university must meet Air India’s eligibility requirements for recognised educational institutions.
Students should carry valid supporting documents while travelling. These may include a student identity card or an admission letter, depending on the circumstances.
The airline may verify these documents during check-in.
Passengers should not assume that every student automatically qualifies for the offer. Checking the eligibility criteria and fare conditions before booking can help avoid problems at the airport.
How to Book Air India Student Tickets
Students can book eligible fares through Air India’s official website or mobile application.
During the booking process, they should enter their departure city, destination and travel dates, then select “Student” under the “Concession Type” option.
The available student fares can then be reviewed before selecting a flight. Travellers should check the final fare, baggage allowance, date-change conditions and any applicable restrictions before making payment.
Additional savings may also be available on eligible bookings made directly through Air India’s website or app.
Logged-in customers can receive a 50% reduction in convenience fees, while eligible domestic bookings paid through UPI may qualify for a discount of up to Rs 1,000 per passenger using the promo code UPIPROMO.
These benefits are subject to their respective terms and conditions.
What Students Should Check Before Booking
The limited-period 10% domestic base-fare discount and the year-round student benefits have different conditions.
Students should therefore confirm which offers apply to their chosen flight and whether the promotional discount can be combined with other benefits.
They should also check the booking deadline carefully.
The limited-period discount applies to eligible bookings made by October 20, 2026, while the airline’s year-round student programme continues beyond that date under its applicable conditions.
For students planning upcoming journeys, comparing the available student fare with other eligible fares can help them assess the actual savings.
Checking the baggage allowance and date-change rules at the same time can make it easier to choose a suitable ticket.
