Identity and security for a domestic flight from Amritsar

Identity documents

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) publishes the list of photo identity documents accepted at entry to the terminal building, carried in original with a valid ticket. A passport, Aadhaar or m-Aadhaar, a voter photo identity card and a driving licence are among them, and an international passenger carries a passport.

The CISF list says an infant or minor travelling with a parent or guardian who holds valid identity proof needs no separate document, but an unaccompanied minor does. Airlines may ask for more, and foreign nationals should ask their airline which document it accepts for a domestic flight.

Liquids, banned items and power banks

The CISF's restricted-articles list allows liquids, aerosols, gels and pastes in cabin baggage in containers of up to 100 ml each, packed in one clear, resealable one-litre plastic bag. Medicine or an inhaler accompanied by a prescription, and baby food, are exceptions. Lighters, knives (apart from round-bladed, butter and plastic cutlery), tools such as hammers and drills, sporting goods such as bats and golf clubs, and pepper spray are among the items the list bars from cabin baggage.

A Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) circular dated 11 November 2025 says power banks and spare batteries are to be carried in hand baggage only and not placed in overhead bins, and that using or charging power banks is not allowed during flight. Ask your airline about any limit on their size or number.

Winter fog and flights at Amritsar

AAI states that the airport is equipped for CAT III-B operation, which it says allows aircraft to operate in low visibility down to 50 metres. In December 2025 the Ministry of Civil Aviation told airlines to deploy aircraft and crew qualified for fog operations.

On 21 December 2025, Akashvani, the government broadcaster, reported an AAI advisory that fog in parts of northern India might lead to delays or changes in flights at select airports, and reported IndiGo saying that low visibility and fog over Bengaluru and Amritsar had affected its schedules. In winter, check your flight with the airline before you leave for the airport, and allow extra time.

Places to visit in and around Amritsar

AAI's page for the airport lists places to visit that include the Golden Temple (Sri Harmandir Sahib), Jallianwala Bagh, Durgiana Temple, Ram Tirath Temple, Lal Devi Mata Temple, the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama, Saada Pind, a heritage walk and the Wagah border.

Delays, cancellations and your rights

The DGCA sets out what airlines provide when a flight is delayed or cancelled, or a passenger is denied boarding, in its Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) Section 3, Series M, Part IV, Revision 4, dated 25 January 2023 and effective from 15 February 2023. If you checked in on time, the airline provides meals and refreshments once a delay is expected to reach two hours or more on a flight with a block time of up to 2.5 hours, three hours or more on a flight of more than 2.5 and up to 5 hours, and four hours or more on a longer flight. The CAR does not require meals, refreshments or hotel accommodation where the delay is caused by extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

If a domestic flight is expected to be delayed by more than six hours from its published departure time, or from a revised time communicated more than 24 hours before the original departure, the airline offers either an alternate flight within six hours or a full refund. For a delay of more than 24 hours, or more than six hours for a flight scheduled to depart between 8 pm and 3 am, the airline provides hotel accommodation when necessary, including transfers.

When a flight is cancelled, the airline arranges an alternate flight or a refund, and a passenger who was not told in time is offered either an alternate flight, or compensation under the DGCA's rules on top of a full refund. Compensation is not due to a passenger who gave the airline no email address or phone number at booking, or where the cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances. The CAR also says an airline need not pay compensation for cancellations and delays clearly attributable to air traffic control, weather or security risks, so a winter fog disruption can fall within it.

You can complain to the airline directly, file a grievance on the Air Sewa app or portal, or go to a statutory body or court. Check dgca.gov.in for a later revision and your airline's current rules before you rely on this.
