SalamAir sells one base Lite Fare, then lets you add a Saver, Value or Flexi bundle on top. Lite and Saver are cabin-baggage-only and carry the tightest change and cancellation terms, while Value and Flexi add checked baggage, with Flexi also including a free change and meals.

SalamAir’s fare names are easy to mix up, so here is what the airline actually sells today, checked against its own fare page.
What are SalamAir’s current fare types?
SalamAir prices every ticket as one Lite Fare, the base product, and then offers three optional bundles on top of it: Saver, Value and Flexi. So rather than three competing fare brands, think of it as a base fare plus a bundle upgrade.
What does each fare and bundle actually include?
- Lite Fare: a 5kg cabin bag that fits under the seat, no seat selection and no meal included.
- Saver bundle: a larger 10kg cabin trolley bag, seat selection, and priority check-in and boarding.
- Value bundle: seat selection plus a checked baggage allowance, which the airline does not state as a fixed figure on its public fare page, so confirm the exact kilos for your route at the time of booking rather than assuming a number.
- Flexi bundle: seat selection, a meal, and a higher checked baggage allowance than Value, again without a fixed kilo figure published for every route.
Across all four, a single checked bag cannot exceed roughly 32kg and 160cm in combined dimensions, and excess baggage bought beyond your allowance is charged per kilo at a rate that depends on your departure airport.
What are the change and cancellation rules for each fare?
On the Lite, Saver and Value tiers, changing your flight costs a change fee plus any fare difference, and you can make that change up to 48 hours before departure. Cancelling any of these three carries a flat cancellation penalty, also available up to 48 hours before departure. The Flexi bundle is more forgiving: it includes one free date change up to 24 hours before departure, after which further changes cost a smaller fee plus the fare difference, and cancellation is allowed up to 24 hours before departure. Name changes to a different passenger and rerouting to a different destination are not permitted on any SalamAir ticket, so double check passenger names before you pay.
Which Indian cities does SalamAir fly to, and how does Muscat fit in?
SalamAir currently serves Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow and Kozhikode from India, per its own destinations page; it has flown to Chennai in the past, so confirm the live route for your city before booking. Most of these routes connect through Muscat, SalamAir’s home base in Oman, which also serves as a convenient onward connection point to the Gulf, parts of East Africa and other SalamAir destinations. The airline has also added a route linking its second Omani base at Salalah with Kozhikode. Frequencies differ by route and change with the season, so always check the live schedule for your specific city rather than assuming daily service.
What should Indian travellers keep in mind before booking?
Because SalamAir prices baggage and flexibility as add-ons rather than bundling everything into one fare, the headline price on a search page can look lower than what you will actually pay once you add a checked bag or seat selection. Before you compare SalamAir against a full-service carrier on the same route, add up the Lite Fare plus whichever bundle, or whichever individual extras, you would actually need, rather than comparing the bare Lite Fare against another airline’s all-inclusive price.
It is also worth checking the specific aircraft and route frequency for your travel dates, since SalamAir’s Indian network has grown through a series of route launches over the past couple of years, and not every city it serves gets a daily flight or the same aircraft type year round. Confirm the schedule for your exact travel month rather than relying on a general network map.
Common Questions
Is SalamAir’s cheapest fare the Lite Fare?
Yes, the Lite Fare is the base product with only a small cabin bag included. Everything else, seat selection, extra cabin allowance, checked baggage and meals, is added through the Saver, Value or Flexi bundle.
Can I change the date on a Lite Fare ticket?
Yes, but it is not free. A change fee plus any fare difference applies, and the change must be made at least 48 hours before departure.
Does the Flexi bundle include a free date change?
Yes, Flexi includes one free change up to 24 hours before departure. Additional changes after that cost a fee plus the fare difference.
Can I transfer my SalamAir ticket to someone else?
No. SalamAir does not permit name changes to a different passenger on any fare, so make sure the name on the booking exactly matches the traveller’s ID.
Does SalamAir fly non-stop from India to Muscat?
SalamAir operates non-stop flights between Muscat and several Indian cities, with Muscat also working as a connection point onward to other SalamAir destinations for travellers continuing beyond Oman.
