Conjugation $\alpha_g(x)=gxg^{-1}$ is an <automorphism> of $G$ sending $A$ to $gAg^{-1}$. It induces the bijection
$$
xA\longmapsto(gxg^{-1})(gAg^{-1})
$$
between their left <coset> sets; conjugation by $g^{-1}$ gives the inverse. Therefore
$$
\boxed{[G:gAg^{-1}]=[G:A]=i.}
$$
This holds whether or not $A$ is normal, and whether the index is finite or infinite.
