1. Air India FLYAI Offer – Save Up to ₹3,000

One of the easiest Air India promotions to check is FLYAI.

Air India currently advertises an instant discount of up to ₹3,000 when customers book eligible flights through the official website or mobile app and enter promo code:

FLYAI

The promotion applies to selected domestic and international routes and can be used on eligible one-way and round-trip journeys. The discount applies to the base fare, and limited promotional inventory is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is worth checking even when you do not hold one of the cards required for Air India's bank promotions.

However, FLYAI cannot be combined with another promotion and is not valid on concessionary fares.

2. VISAFLY – Save Up to ₹2,000

Air India also has a dedicated promotion for eligible Visa debit and credit cards.

Use:

VISAFLY

The current booking window runs from September 9 through October 7, 2026, with eligible travel extending through September 8, 2027.

For domestic Economy flights, the promotion provides a 10% discount up to ₹800 on eligible transactions of at least ₹5,000.

For international Economy flights, the maximum discount increases to ₹2,000, again at 10%, with a minimum eligible transaction value of ₹15,000.

Travelers paying directly rather than through EMI may therefore want to compare VISAFLY against FLYAI before checkout.

3. SBI Credit Card EMI – Up to ₹10,000 Off

Air India's SBI Card promotion is particularly interesting for larger international bookings.

Using promo code:

SBICEMI

eligible SBI credit-card customers can receive a flat 12% instant discount on qualifying EMI transactions.

For domestic flights, Air India lists a maximum discount of ₹2,000 on transactions starting at ₹5,000. The domestic booking period runs through October 3, 2026.

For international flights, the maximum discount increases to ₹10,000, with a minimum transaction of ₹25,000. The international offer runs through October 8, 2026.

The promotion requires eligible credit-card EMI transactions, is limited to specific cards/BINs and applies to the base fare. Air India also states that it cannot be combined with other promotions.

4. HDFC Bank EMI Offer – Up to ₹10,000 Off

HDFC Bank credit-card holders have a similar promotion.

Use:

HDFCEMI

Eligible EMI bookings receive a flat 12% instant discount.

Domestic bookings can receive up to ₹2,000 off on qualifying transactions starting at ₹5,000, while eligible international bookings can receive up to ₹10,000 off with a minimum transaction of ₹25,000.

The current HDFC promotion is scheduled to run through September 30, 2026 and applies only to eligible INR credit-card EMI transactions made through Air India's website or app.

5. ICICI Bank EMI – Up to ₹10,000 Off

ICICI Bank credit-card customers can use:

ICICIEMI

Air India's current promotion provides a flat 12% discount on qualifying EMI transactions.

Eligible domestic flights can receive up to ₹2,000 off, while eligible international bookings can receive up to ₹10,000 off. Minimum transaction amounts are ₹5,000 and ₹25,000 respectively.

The promotion is currently valid through September 30, 2026 and supports specified EMI tenures of 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months.

6. Axis Bank EMI Offer – Up to ₹10,000 Off

Axis Bank customers have another similar opportunity.

Use:

AXISEMI

The current deal provides 12% off eligible credit-card EMI transactions, with savings of up to ₹2,000 on domestic flights and ₹10,000 on international bookings.

Domestic bookings need a minimum transaction of ₹5,000, while international bookings require at least ₹25,000. The published booking period runs through September 30, 2026.

Again, the discount applies to the eligible base fare rather than necessarily reducing every component of the ticket price.

7. Air India UPI Offer – Up to ₹2,000 Off

Travelers who prefer UPI do not need a credit card to access a discount.

Enter:

UPIPROMO

Air India currently states that eligible UPI payments can receive discounts of up to ₹1,000 per passenger on domestic flights and up to ₹2,000 per passenger on international flights.

The offer applies through the Air India website or mobile app and only to Air India flight bookings.

The discount applies to the base fare, while applicable taxes and other charges remain payable. It also cannot be combined with another offer.

For families booking multiple passengers, the per-passenger structure makes this promotion worth checking carefully.

8. Net Banking Discount – Up to ₹2,000

If you prefer net banking, Air India currently offers a similar promotion.

Use:

NBPROMO

Eligible bookings can receive up to ₹1,000 off domestic flights per passenger and up to ₹2,000 off international flights per passenger.

The promotion is available through Air India's website and app, applies to the base fare and cannot be combined with another promotion.

Air India also specifies minimum instant-discount amounts on its app of ₹200 for domestic and ₹300 for international bookings under the offer.

9. Maharaja Club Members – Up to 15% Off

Joining or logging into Maharaja Club can unlock another category of Air India savings.

Air India states that logged-in Maharaja Club members can receive up to 15% off flights and 50% off the convenience fee when booking directly through its website or mobile app.

The convenience-fee reduction is significant across both domestic and international routes. For example, Air India currently lists an India-to-India convenience fee of ₹399 for logged-out users versus ₹200 for logged-in members. Certain shorter international markets are listed at ₹649 versus ₹325.

If you regularly fly Air India, it makes sense to sign into Maharaja Club before comparing the final fare.

10. Student Discount – Flat 10% Off Domestic Base Fare

Air India's student concession provides more than a fare reduction.

Eligible students can currently receive a flat 10% off the base fare on domestic flights, plus 10 kg of additional baggage and one free date change, although a fare difference remains payable.

Students can also potentially use UPIPROMO for additional savings subject to the conditions shown during booking.

Eligible passengers must generally be at least 12 years old and enrolled in a qualifying full-time educational course. Appropriate student documentation is required.

11. Senior Citizen Offers – Up to 25% Off

Travelers aged 60 years or older can access special Air India benefits.

For domestic travel, eligible senior citizens can receive up to 25% off the base fare by selecting “Senior Citizen” under the concession type when booking. Air India also advertises additional baggage allowance and one free date change, with any fare difference still payable.

The airline currently allows qualifying international senior travelers of all nationalities to access specified benefits, while its domestic senior-citizen concession applies to Indian nationals. Proof of age is required.

12. One Free Date Change on Selected International Routes

Travel flexibility can sometimes be worth as much as a discount.

Passengers who book through Air India's website or app by October 15, 2026 can receive one free date change on eligible international flights between India and:

Europe, United States, Canada and Australia.

The benefit applies across cabin classes and to eligible one-way and round-trip bookings.

The date-change request must be made at least 72 hours before departure, and travelers must still pay any difference between their original fare and the new fare. Children, infants and group bookings are excluded.

13. India to Saudi Arabia – Fares From ₹12,567

Air India is also advertising special fares between India and Saudi Arabia.

Current published starting all-inclusive fares are:

Cabin	One-Way From	Return From
Economy	₹12,567	₹23,062
Premium Economy	₹20,065	₹35,248
Business	₹25,003	₹50,829

These fares are listed for Air India-operated India–Saudi Arabia flights and are subject to availability and change.

This could be useful for travelers heading to cities such as Riyadh or Jeddah for business, leisure or family travel.

14. Delhi to Shanghai Non-Stop Flights

Air India currently operates non-stop Delhi–Shanghai flights four times weekly.

The airline is advertising all-inclusive Economy return fares starting at approximately ₹34,040, with one-way Economy fares from ₹20,740.

The route operates between Delhi and Shanghai Pudong, and Air India also lists additional introductory benefits including increased baggage options and special Maharaja Club discounts on eligible fares.

15. Delhi to Hanoi Non-Stop Flights

Vietnam travelers can also check Air India's Delhi–Hanoi service.

Air India currently operates the route five times per week. Its offer page advertises special pricing and lists Delhi–Hanoi Economy fares from ₹17,399 one way in its detailed fare table, while the promotion header highlights return deals from ₹25,199. Since promotional inventory changes, travelers should rely on the final live fare shown during their search.

The route can be especially convenient for Indian travelers planning a Vietnam holiday without an intermediate connection.

How to Apply an Air India Promo Code

When booking directly with Air India, start by entering your departure city, destination and dates. Select the applicable passenger and cabin details, then enter the relevant promotion—such as FLYAI, VISAFLY, UPIPROMO, NBPROMO or a qualifying bank EMI code—in the promo-code field.

After searching, compare the discounted result with the fare shown without the promotion.

Pay special attention to the final amount because many discounts apply only to the base fare rather than taxes, airport charges or optional extras. Bank-specific promotions may also require particular cards, EMI tenures and minimum transaction amounts.

Which Air India Offer Could Save the Most?

There is no single promotion that gives every traveler the largest saving.

For a high-value international ticket, the SBI, HDFC, ICICI or Axis EMI offers can provide up to ₹10,000 off when all eligibility requirements are met.

For travelers who do not want EMI, VISAFLY can provide up to ₹2,000 off eligible Economy flights, while FLYAI advertises savings of up to ₹3,000 on selected routes.

UPI and net-banking users can also receive up to ₹2,000 per passenger on qualifying international bookings.

Maharaja Club members, students and senior citizens should check their dedicated pricing before using a general promotion because concession or member fares can differ.

Final Thoughts

Travelers making high-value bookings should compare the ₹10,000 bank EMI discounts, while those paying normally can check FLYAI, VISAFLY, UPIPROMO and NBPROMO. Maharaja Club members, students and senior citizens should also compare their dedicated benefits before completing a reservation.

For international travelers, current route promotions such as India–Saudi Arabia fares from ₹12,567, Delhi–Shanghai return fares from ₹34,040, and Air India's Delhi–Hanoi service add further opportunities to compare direct-flight pricing.
