Travel period covered under this scheme has also been extended. This Rs 999 offer is now applicable on travel between June 22, 2015 and October 15, 2015 (dates inclusive).
Passengers traveling under the offer are allowed a maximum of 7 kg of hand baggage each, plus standard sized laptop bag or ladies purse, SpiceJet said. For those traveling with check-in baggage, the airline said an additional fee of Rs 750 will be charged for the first 15 kgs, and on per kilogram basis thereafter.
SpiceJet on Monday said it has opened advanced bookings up to March next year, following the nod from aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
