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.
