IndiGo is a low-cost airline, so food and drink are bought, either pre-booked on IndiGo’s website or bought on board from its Airomatic menu, and every snack comes with a drink of your choice. Pre-book snacks start at โน400, Munchies are โน200 and hot Super Bowls are โน400, and on select international flights you can also buy beer, wine and spirits. The exception is its long-haul Boeing 787-9 flights from Mumbai to Amsterdam, Manchester and London Heathrow, where hot meals are free for everyone.
Long Haul Flights
On its long-haul flights from Mumbai to Amsterdam, Manchester and London Heathrow, flown with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners leased from Norse Atlantic Airways, IndiGo serves complimentary hot meals and non-alcoholic drinks to all passengers in Economy and IndiGoStretch. Economy passengers can buy alcohol on board, while IndiGoStretch passengers get it free. The meals are vegetarian by default, and you can choose non-vegetarian when you book.

Indigo Stretch
IndiGoStretch is IndiGo’s business class, launched in November 2024, with 12 recliner seats in a 2-2 layout on the A321neo. The fare includes priority boarding, complimentary drinks and a meal tray with real crockery, a printed menu card and a Nut Case tin of nuts, but there was no lounge access on the route we flew. Our Mumbai to Singapore meal was vegetarian, with a tomato pesto bocconcini sandwich, a hash brown vegetable casserole with tomato sauce and cheese, a fruit bowl and a strawberry crรชpe. IndiGo’s A321 aircraft has no ovens, so the casserole arrived at room temperature. Not every IndiGo flight has the Stretch cabin. On Istanbul to Mumbai, flown for IndiGo by a wet-leased Turkish Airlines 777-300ER, a Stretch fare still put us in economy, with a rice and curry main on the 6.5-hour flight. On the Boeing 787-9 flights to Amsterdam, Manchester and London Heathrow, IndiGoStretch is a bigger cabin of 56 seats in a 2-3-2 layout with a 43-inch pitch, and IndiGo says its passengers get complimentary hot meals and alcohol.
