Cuteness under ambit of taxation as IndiGo passenger charged extra Rs 100 as ‘Cute charge’, netizens are in no mood to let it go easily
Chandigarh, July 12
From convenience fee to airport security deposits, airlines have levied several charges on fliers. But now, you could be charged a tad bit more if you are cute. A recent viral tweet has left netizens baffled where IndiGo airlines has unleashed extra Rs 100 upon a passenger besides regular charge-categories as ‘cute charge’.
The breakdown price summary for travelling has been shared on Twitter by a user Shantanu, where he has highlighted extra Rs 100 he had to furnish for his ticket as ‘cute charge’. “I know I’m getting cuter with age but never thought @IndiGo6E would start charging me for it,” the witty caption reads.

Soon after being shared, the post attracted a plethora of reactions by netizens. Many started a meme fest while few stated that ‘cute’ is an abbreviation for Common Use Terminal Equipment.
Hey airline, what are these charges, are you trying to act smart with me
Next they may charge for using their Planes toilets and it will be called “Loo fee “
They call it “Common User Terminal Equipment” (CUTE) fees, which include charges for the use of metal detecting machines, escalators and other equipment in the airport. It’s also referred to as passenger handling fee. The charges vary from one airport to the other.
