Convenience Charges for Digital India
Wife Ordered a meal on IndiGo flight yesterday.
Crew said: ₹400 with complimentary drinks.
Fair enough.
When it came to payment:
Cash → ₹400
Credit card → POS only shows $5 on the machine which turns out to be 460 Rs.
She asked why.
Response: Ma’am cash 400… card 460, our hands are tied.
So basically:
Pay by card = pay 15% extra 🤔
Not because of taxes.
Not because of premium service.
Just because you chose to pay digitally.
In a country pushing UPI & cashless payments… this is what we get onboard?
If ₹400 is meal price , charge the same regardless of payment mode.
IndiGo care to explain?if not LC Manager/ Sachin Bhai please take up more

Digital convenience shouldn’t come with hidden premiums—transparency is the real upgrade. more

IndiGo is a useless airline. Soon they will charge you for breathing inside the aircraft etc. They have some incredible staff who will not give your pre-booked meal if you accidentally refuse it thinking you are required to pay again. The Rs 400 food is probably stale and not even worth Rs 50. more
