Air India Express premium features

Enhancing the onboard experience, Air India Express continues to expand premium features across its modern fleet. ‘Xpress Biz’ seats, offering additional comfort and space, are now available on more than 40 aircraft. Passengers can also opt for ‘Xpress Ahead,’ a service providing priority access during check-in, boarding, and baggage handling. Dining options include the airline’s ‘Gourmair’ menu, which features freshly served hot meals blending Indian and international flavours.

The Bengaluru–Bangkok route further consolidates the airline’s Thailand network, which already includes flights from Lucknow, Pune, and Surat to Bangkok and from Hyderabad to Phuket.
