To satisfy the growing demand for premium travel, which has increased in the last three years, Air India has extended its premium economy class. According to their press release from March 12, 2025, the airline is thus providing premium economy rates beginning at Rs 599 to satisfy the increasing demand.
For a brief period, those costs are higher than standard economy fares for domestic flights. Demand and routes affect prices.
At the moment, this service offers over 50,000 Premium Economy tickets every week on 39 domestic routes. Almost 34,000 of these seats are located along important metro lines, such as Mumbai-Bengaluru, Mumbai-Hyderabad, Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Bengaluru, and Delhi-Hyderabad.
Air India is increasing its premium economy capacity by 30% with the refurbishment of 27 A320s, bringing the total to more than 65,000 seats each week. More domestic and short-haul foreign routes will be served by the updated aircraft, which has brand-new seats.
According to the press release, Air India’s Premium Economy offers more legroom, priority luggage handling, boarding, and check-in, as well as better seat design and hot meals served on fine china.
‘Vista Stream’ is a free wifi in-flight entertainment system that Air India currently provides throughout its fleet (except the A350 and updated B777 aircraft). More than 1,000 hours of programming are available for passengers to watch straight on their own devices.
