Finally Airlines Must Show Total Fare Including Cancellation Charges Before You Book

The government has finally introduced <b>Rule 192</b> under the Bharatiya Vayuyan Niyam, 2026, forcing airlines to display the <b>total payable amount</b> upfront. No more hidden surprises at the final payment stage. For years, airlines played a clever game of showing low base fares only to add massive cancellation and convenience fees at the very last step of booking. This new rule aims to stop that deceptive practice by ensuring transparency right from the start. Passengers can now see the <b>full cost</b> and refund terms before confirming their tickets. This is a major win for the common traveler who often felt cheated by opaque pricing structures during the checkout process.
