Dr. Sanjay Arora, a marketing concepts explainer hailing from Nagpur, brought attention to the issue without specifying his travel destination or the airport in question. He decried the steep charges, labelling the pricing strategy as ‘daylight robbery.’
In his words, “I’ve never understood why we get fleeced at the airports. I got his simple dish of Rajma Chawal with a Coke for 500/- bucks. Isn’t that daylight robbery? Just because someone’s traveling by air doesn’t mean they have to be looted!”

Amidst the chorus of discontent, some individuals offered a different perspective. One user suggested proactively bringing homemade food to avoid the anticipated high costs at airports, stating, “I always pack homemade food for flights so I don’t have to come on X and cry about how expensive airport food is.” Another user delved into the economics, explaining, “It costs a lot to setup airport…And it costs a lot to rent a place in airport and it costs a lot to employ people at airport as it is very secure place & hence it costs a lot to serve you food there. Just like it costs a lot to serve coffee in a 5 star than in a road side bandi.”
