Tata Group-owned Air India has inaugurated its new 4 times weekly non-stop service to Rome, marking a return to the Italian city after nearly six years.
Lufthansa is expanding its winter flight schedule for 2026/27 with the launch of a new direct route by between its Munich hub and Rovaniemi, starting December 4, 2026.
Choosing a seat on a flight in India often comes at an extra cost, especially for window, aisle, or front-row options. Over time, what was once a basic part of flying has turned into a revenue stream for airlines, leaving many passengers with limited free choices during web check-in.
