At SpiceJet, we operate as a ticketless airline, meaning that an itinerary does not constitute a document of carriage. The booking in the SpiceJet database serves as the primary record of carriage. In the event of discrepancies between the itinerary and the booking in our database, the latter will prevail. Below are important travel policies you should be aware of:

1. Identification Requirements

   All passengers, including children and infants, must present valid identification at check-in. It is the passenger's responsibility to ensure they have the appropriate travel documents at all times. Acceptable forms of identification include:

   • Valid Passport
   • Valid Driving License
   • Election Photo Identification Card
   • Aadhaar/M-Aadhaar
   • PAN card issued by the Income Tax Department
   • Photo identity card issued by the employer (government or reputed private sector organisations)
   • School identification cards or any other photo identification proof for children travelling on SpiceJet
   • Valid birth certificate, mother's hospital discharge summary, vaccination certificate, or passport for infants
   • Nationalised bank passbook with an attested photograph
   • Pension card or pension document with the passenger's photograph
   • Disability Photo Identification Card or handicapped medical certificate issued by the respective state/UT governments/administrations
   • For foreign nationals travelling on domestic flights, the only valid photo identification is a passport
2. Travel to Port Blair (Andaman and Nicobar Islands)

   Foreign Nationals/Non-Indian Nationals/NRI: Must carry a valid passport for travel to Port Blair. NRIs must have either a Person of Indian Origin (PIO) card or a passport with valid documents.

   As the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a Restricted Area under the Foreign Nationals (Restricted) Order 1963, the provision for the Restricted Area Permit (RAP) has been relaxed for visits by foreigners to 30 islands.

   Citizens of China, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, as well as those of Myanmar intending to visit Mayabunder and Diglipur in the North & Middle Andaman District, must obtain prior approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs for entry.

3. Boarding Pass Information

   The boarding pass is issued solely for processing convenience and holds no intrinsic value as a document. Passengers are advised to retain the boarding pass until exiting the terminal for security reasons. Passengers on connecting flights should keep their boarding pass accessible for physical checks at transit points.

4. Security Screening

   All passengers will undergo security screening before boarding the aircraft, as mandated by Indian regulations.

5. Carriage of Infants
   • Classification and Travel Policy: "Infants" are defined as children aged above 7 days and below 2 years on the travel date, while "passengers" are those aged 2 years and above. Infants below 7 days of age will require medical authorization from a physician for acceptance. Unaccompanied travel for infants is not permitted, and bookings for infants cannot be made as stand-alone reservations.
   • Age Proof: Carry any of the following valid IDs for the infant for age verification at the airport on the travel day:
   • Birth certificate
   • Mother's hospital discharge summary
   • Vaccination certificate
   • Passport

   Failure to provide valid age proof will result in the need to pay the applicable fare at the time of booking, subject to seat availability.

   • Check-In and Documentation: Arrive early at the airport to allow sufficient time for check-in, security checks, and potential delays. Ensure you have all necessary valid documents for your infant for both domestic and international flights.
   • Seating and Fees: Infants travel on their parent/guardian's lap and do not require separate seats. An additional fee of INR 1,750 per infant per sector will apply. Each adult can travel with a maximum of one infant due to limited inventory.
6. Unaccompanied Minor Policy:

   Children under the age of 12 require adult accompaniment at all times. SpiceJet accepts children aged between 5 and 12 years travelling alone as unaccompanied minors (UNMR inventory).

   UNMR Booking: The Unaccompanied Minor (UNMR) service can be booked through our website, mobile app, or by calling our reservation numbers: +91 (0)124 4983410 or +91 (0)124 7101600. To book through our website, simply select the "Unaccompanied Minor" option on the homepage when searching for flights.

   Fee: An additional fee of INR 4,999 is charged for each one-way domestic journey for unaccompanied minors.

   Travel Requirements:

   The Unaccompanied Minor Form (UNMR form) must be completed and signed by the child’s parent(s) or guardian(s) before the departure date. The form can be viewed and downloaded from https://corporate.spicejet.com/content/pdf/UNMR_Form.pdf. If there is more than one minor travelling under the same PNR, only one UNMR form is required, provided that the minors share the same parents, address, and contact number.

   On the day of departure, passengers must carry four printed copies of the signed and completed UNMR form to the ticketing counter. This form authorises the airline to care for the child until they are handed over to the designated recipient upon arrival.

   Along with the copies of the UNMR form, it is also mandatory to present valid photo identification for both the parent/guardian and the minor(s).

   Parent/guardian and the minor(s) must arrive at the departure airport at least 2 hours prior to departure for a smooth handover of the unaccompanied minor(s) to the airport staff.

   After the necessary paperwork is processed, the airport staff will take responsibility for the minor(s) from that point onward.

   Care and Assistance for Unaccompanied Minors:

   Airline staff will assist unaccompanied minors throughout the journey, including during airport procedures.

   Seats will be assigned closer to the cabin crew to ensure they are looked after at all times. Dedicated cabin crew will ensure their needs are met in-flight.

   A complimentary meal and beverage are provided on board from the available options.

   Travel Restrictions for Unaccompanied Minors:

   Unaccompanied minors are not accepted if an overnight stay is required for flight connections.

   SpiceJet does not transfer unaccompanied minors to international terminals for connecting flights with other airlines.

   Unaccompanied minors cannot transit between domestic and international flights with SpiceJet.

   Arrival Handover:

   Upon arrival, minor(s) are released only to the authorised individual specified in the form, who must present valid photo identification.

   The authorised individual designated to receive the unaccompanied minor(s) at the arrival city must arrive at the airport as per the estimated flight arrival time and contact the SpiceJet office for coordination.

   Once the minor(s) have been handed over from the flight to our arrival staff, our team will coordinate with the authorised individual for the minor(s)' handover.

   The authorised individual must present valid photo identification to the arrival staff before the minor(s) are released.

   Any checked-in baggage will be collected by the airline’s arrival staff and handed over along with the minor(s) to the parent/guardian.

   Web Check-in Restriction for Unaccompanied Minors:

   Unaccompanied minors (UNMR) are not eligible for web check-in. Check-in will be completed with the assistance of airline staff when the minor is dropped off at the airport ticketing counter by the parent/guardian.

7. Wheelchair Assistance Policy

   SpiceJet provides wheelchair assistance to passengers at no additional cost. However, please be aware that there is limited availability of wheelchairs on each flight. Passengers can pre-book a wheelchair while booking their tickets on our website or by calling the reservation centre. To ensure proper arrangements, passengers are advised to submit their wheelchair requests at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure of their flight.

8. Emergency Exit Row Seating

   Emergency exit rows are specific seating rows on an aircraft that are located near emergency exits, usually on the wings of the plane. These rows are strategically positioned to provide easy access to emergency exits in case of an evacuation. The primary purpose of these seats is to ensure the swift and safe evacuation of passengers in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, crash, or other situations where an immediate evacuation might be necessary.

   Passengers seated in emergency exit rows have additional responsibilities and must meet certain criteria, as outlined by aviation regulations and the airline's policies.

   Due to their importance in ensuring passenger safety, passengers seated in emergency exit rows are always briefed by the cabin crew on how to properly operate the exit door and assist in an evacuation if needed.

   
   

   Criteria for Emergency Exit Row Seating:

   Passengers who pre-book emergency exit row seats or are assigned to these seats must meet the following conditions:

   • Be above the age of 15 years on the date of travel.
   • Be physically and mentally capable of performing tasks associated with opening the emergency exit, as outlined in DGCA CAR - Section 8, Series O, Part VIII, Issue I.
   • Not suffer from any temporary illness affecting mobility.
   • Not be travelling with an infant or requiring additional safety assistance, such as pregnant women, individuals using extension seat belts, travellers with guide dogs, or individuals with medical conditions.
   • Be willing and able to:
   • Locate and recognise the emergency exit and its opening mechanism.
   • Comprehend and follow crew instructions regarding emergency exit operations.
   • Follow oral directions and hand signals given by a crew member.
   • Operate the emergency exit and secure the door so it does not impede use of the exit.
   • Assist other passengers and follow a safe path away from the exit in an emergency.
   • Assess, select, and follow a safe path away from the emergency exit.

   Passengers seated near an emergency exit must pay special attention to instructions provided by the cabin crew during briefing sessions on emergency procedures.

   If a passenger does not meet these criteria or is unwilling to sit at the emergency exit, SpiceJet may reallocate their seat, particularly during take-off and landing, to ensure safety. SpiceJet also reserves the right to change an assigned seat without prior notice in exigent circumstances, with the seat fee refunded if applicable.

At SpiceJet, we recognise that travel plans may require adjustments. Our policies for cancellations, changes, and delays are designed to provide the necessary support and flexibility. Below are the key details regarding each aspect of our policies.

1. Cancellation and Changes Initiated by the Passenger:

   In the event of a booking cancellation or change initiated by the passenger, the following guidelines will apply:

   • Look-In Option:

     SpiceJet provides a 24-hour "Look-In" period post-booking, during which passengers can amend or cancel their ticket without any additional charges, except for the fare difference for the revised flight. This option is not available for flights departing within 7 days of the booking date. To avail of this option, passengers must contact SpiceJet's call reservation centre at +91 (0)124 4983410 or +91 (0)124 7101600.

   • Split PNR Functionality:

     A feature offered to SpiceJet passengers across various channels, including the SpiceJet website, mobile app, mobile site, and reservation centres. This feature allows passengers to separate or "split" a portion of their booking into a new Passenger Name Record (PNR). The feature is designed to provide flexibility, enabling a passenger to modify or cancel their segment of the booking without affecting the entire reservation. You can easily access this functionality online via the "Manage Booking" tab on the SpiceJet website, as well as through the mobile app and mobile site.

     Key Features:

     1. Applicability:
        • The Split PNR functionality is available for bookings with two or more passengers on both domestic and international flights.
        • For Friends & Family fares, a minimum of four passengers is required in a PNR to be eligible for a split. After the split, each PNR must have at least two passengers. For bookings with five or more passengers, the split PNR must also include at least two passengers.
     2. Booking Changes: When a passenger is split from the original booking, a new PNR will be created for the split passenger. The contact details in the new PNR will remain unchanged from the original booking.
     3. The Split PNR functionality is not applicable to Group PNRs and LTC (Leave Travel Concession) PNRs.
     4. The cancellation and change policies applicable to the PNR will remain in accordance with the fare rules of the original booking.

     SpiceJet reserves the right to modify, alter, amend, or change any and all of the terms and conditions of this functionality at any time, without prior notice. SpiceJet also reserves the right to withdraw or cancel this offer at any time, without prior notice.

     Note: The Split PNR functionality is designed to ensure that any changes made by one passenger do not impact the rest of the booking. SpiceJet encourages passengers to carefully review all terms, conditions, and disclaimers before initiating the Split PNR process.

   • Date Change:

     For domestic sectors, any changes related to the date of travel will incur applicable charges as detailed in the table below. If the original fare is unavailable at the time of change, the fare difference will also be applied in addition to the change fee. All fees are subject to change without prior notice.

   • Sector Change:

     Requests to change the sector for domestic bookings will attract either the applicable cancellation fee, or the base fare plus fuel surcharge per passenger per sector, whichever is lower. If the same fare is unavailable at the time of change, the fare difference will also be applied along with any other applicable fees. All fees are subject to change without prior notice.

   • Additional Charges for Bookings via Reservation Centre or Airport Counters:

     For booking cancellations and flight changes requested via the SpiceJet reservation centre or airport ticketing counters, an additional sum of INR 250 per passenger per flight will be charged.

   • Non-Cancellable Add-On Services:

     Add-on services such as meals, SpiceMax, excess baggage, lounge access, priority check-in, and preferred bag-out are non-cancellable in isolation.

   • Name Correction Policy:

     Recognising that booking errors can happen, SpiceJet is committed to providing a smooth travel experience. To help make your journey as easy as possible, we offer the opportunity to rectify minor discrepancies as outlined in the following guidelines:

     • Name corrections can only be made once.
     • Only one letter change is allowed in either the first or last name, including letter substitutions such as changing 'ee' to 'i'.
     • Title corrections are allowed at no additional charge, regardless of the time of change. However, once a title correction is made, no further name corrections will be permitted.
     • Full name changes are not permitted.
     • Initials are displayed as single letters and cannot be changed to different letters or expanded to full names. For example, if an initial is shown as 'A', it cannot be altered to 'B' or expanded to a full name.
     • Name corrections are free within 24 hours of booking. After 24 hours, a Name Correction Fee of INR 500 for domestic flights and INR 1000 for international flights will apply.
     • Passengers who have already checked in cannot make name corrections through our website or app. For assistance with this matter, please contact our reservations centre at +91 (0)124 4983410 or +91 (0)124 7101600.
     • The name correction fee shall be deemed non-refundable in the event that the passenger cancels the ticket. However, such fee shall be refunded in instances where the flight is cancelled by the airline due to irregular operations.

     Please ensure your booking name matches your identification proof.

   • Promo and Sale Fare Restrictions and Refund Guidelines:
     • All spicy promotional or auction fares, particularly those purchased in conjunction with return fares, are restrictive and non-refundable, may not permit flight changes, and are subject to limited inventory available on a first-come, first-served basis; passengers are advised to check fare restrictions when booking, and SpiceJet reserves the right to withdraw or amend promotions without prior notice.

However, bookings on flights to/from certain routes such as Ajmer, Belagavi, Durgapur, Gwalior, Jaisalmer, Jalandhar, Jharsuguda, Kandla, Kanpur, Pondicherry, Darbhanga, and Porbandar are excluded from this refund as no taxes are collected on these routes.

At SpiceJet, we operate as a ticketless airline, meaning that an itinerary does not constitute a document of carriage. The booking in the SpiceJet database serves as the primary record of carriage. In the event of discrepancies between the itinerary and the booking in our database, the latter will prevail. The ticket remains the property of the issuing carrier at all times, and SpiceJet does not issue open tickets, meaning no period of validity is applicable. Below are important travel policies you should be aware of:

1. Identification and Travel Requirements
• Identification Requirements:

  SpiceJet will provide carriage only to the passenger(s) named on the ticket. Passengers are required to present appropriate identification proof at the time of travel. For all international flights, a valid passport is the only acceptable form of identification.

• International Travel Documentation:

  For all international flights, the passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of travel. Passengers are responsible for ensuring they have valid visas and other required travel documents. SpiceJet advises passengers to confirm travel requirements with the consulate of the destination country. The Passenger is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary travel documents and visas and for complying with all applicable laws, regulations, orders, demands, requirements, rules, or instructions of the countries they will be travelling to, from, or through. SpiceJet shall not be liable for any consequences resulting from a passenger's failure to secure these documents or comply with such laws, regulations, orders, demands, requirements, rules, or instructions.

     Airline staff will assist unaccompanied minors throughout the journey, including during airport procedures.

     Unaccompanied minors (UNMR) are not eligible for web check-in. Check-in will be completed with the assistance of airline staff when the minor is dropped off at the airport ticketing counter by the parent/guardian.

9. Emergency Exit Row Seating

   Emergency exit rows are specific seating rows on an aircraft that are located near emergency exits, usually on the wings of the plane. These rows are strategically positioned to provide easy access to emergency exits in case of an evacuation. The primary purpose of these seats is to ensure the swift and safe evacuation of passengers in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, crash, or other situations where an immediate evacuation might be necessary.

   Passengers seated in emergency exit rows have additional responsibilities and must meet certain criteria, as outlined by aviation regulations and the airline's policies.

   Due to their importance in ensuring passenger safety, passengers seated in emergency exit rows are always briefed by the cabin crew on how to properly operate the exit door and assist in an evacuation if needed.

     • Locate and recognise the emergency exit and its opening mechanism.
     • Comprehend and follow crew instructions regarding emergency exit operations.
     • Follow oral directions and hand signals given by a crew member.

     • Assist other passengers and follow a safe path away from the exit in an emergency.
     • Assess, select, and follow a safe path away from the emergency exit.

   Passengers seated near an emergency exit must pay special attention to instructions provided by the cabin crew during briefing sessions on emergency procedures.

   If a passenger does not meet these criteria or is unwilling to sit at the emergency exit, SpiceJet may reallocate their seat, particularly during take-off and landing, to ensure safety. SpiceJet also reserves the right to change an assigned seat without prior notice in exigent circumstances, with the seat fee refunded if applicable.

  The total amount recoverable from SpiceJet and from such authorized agents, employees, representatives, and persons shall not exceed the amount of SpiceJet’s own liability, if any.

• Exclusions of Liability

  Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage shall waive any exclusion or limitation of SpiceJet’s liability under applicable laws unless otherwise expressly stated.

• Defenses Against Claims

  Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage shall waive any exclusion or limitation of SpiceJet’s liability or any defense available to SpiceJet under applicable laws as against any public social insurance body or any person who is liable to pay compensation or has paid compensation in respect of the death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger.

• Liability for Delay

  SpiceJet shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from delays in the air carriage of passengers or baggage.

• Additional Regulations and Conditions of Carriage

  The carriage of passengers and their baggage is subject to specific regulations and conditions, which include but are not limited to:

• Carriage of unaccompanied minors, pregnant women, and passengers with medical conditions
• Restrictions on the use of electronic devices and other restricted items
• Policies regarding the consumption of alcoholic beverages onboard
• Schedules
• The flight times shown in timetables may change between the date of publication and the date the passenger actually travels. SpiceJet does not guarantee these times to the passenger, and they do not form part of the contract with us.
• Before accepting the passenger’s booking, SpiceJet will notify the passenger of the scheduled flight time in effect at that time, which will be shown on their ticket. SpiceJet may need to change the scheduled flight time after the issuance of the passenger’s ticket. The passenger must provide valid contact information (mobile number); SpiceJet will endeavour to notify passengers of any such changes. If, after purchasing the ticket, SpiceJet makes a significant change to the scheduled flight time that is unacceptable to the passenger and is unable to book them on an alternate flight that is acceptable, they will be entitled to a refund in accordance with the above-mentioned sections.
