Announcement Corporate

SpiceJet Limited announces a set of new connections that passengers can book on and travel through interconnecting flights within the SpiceJet network. These are connections on the existing flights within the network which can connect destinations that were not connected earlier. With these connections, Spicejet now offers 11 unique city pairs connectivity to its passengers.  

To enhance the ease of travel, passengers will get two boarding cards at the time of check in at the originating city.  Their baggage will be checked in, at the time of boarding the first flight, directly to the final destination.  

Announcing this in the capital, Samyukth Sridharan, Chief Commercial Officer, SpiceJet Limited said, “These connecting flights will give passengers additional options within the existing SpiceJet network of 125 daily departures. Now a passenger travelling from Chennai can reach Varanasi via Delhi within 8 hours through interconnecting flights. He can book this entire journey on one PNR and through check in their bags to the final destination. On reaching Delhi, the passenger needs to deplane and proceed for the next leg of the travel after completing the security formalities. ”
