Here is exciting news for those travelling to India from Muscat.
Now, you can carry televisions up to a maximum size of 48 inches free of charge if you are flying by Air India or Jet Airways.
Duty on TV at Indian airports would still have to be paid.
In a notice to travel agents, Air India said: "We are happy to inform you that it has been decided to waive the charges for carriage of television up to maximum size of 48 inches on Air India flights with effect from today until further notice. This will be considered as free baggage allowance of the passenger and anything over and above free baggage allowance will attract excess baggage charges.
"Due to space constraint it is not feasible to carry television beyond the size of 48 inches on Air India flights from Muscat," the airline said, in a circular issued on October 31.
A day earlier, a travel agent in Muscat was quoted as saying to Times of Oman that the television set should be in its original packaging to be considered part of Jet Airway's free baggage allowance.
According to the Jet Airways website, the current fee for televisions of 1.02 metres (102 cms / 40 inches) and above is OMR 20 and for flights departing from Gulf airports on Boeing 737 aircraft, the maximum acceptable size for LCD / LED TV is 1.22 metres (122 cms / 48 inches), the report said.
Jet Airways is also offering 40 kilogramme of free baggage allowance for all guests till December 10, 2017, it pointed out.
