Excessive pricing of food at airport
I am glad LC manager ran this poll. During Diwali travel coffee and croissant for 6 of us at Delhi airport was 2300 rupees.
Clearly something that at market rates would be 1200 rupees and if had at home 400 rupees.
The loot is real. Imagine the pain now during fog season people will spend 6-8 hours extra at airport. At best will get a sandwich from airline.
I think if food is reasonably priced, aggression and trauma at airports will reduce. more

Airports charge hefty rentals as air travel costs are factored in. Customers opt-in to buy the same, and so normalise this trend based on market determined prices. more

Airport food is costly, as air travel costs the environment. That cost is factored in. Air travel involves flying kgs 30000 to 40000 ft. in the air that burns aviation turbine fuel to gather speed, ascend against gravitational force, burning a fossil fuel, causing pollution. Railway station food is not costly. Simple physics and logic. more

airport food is costly because airports charge hefty rentals and it is presumed whatever you charge, people have money and no objection to pay 4 times the outside airport price. It does not fly 30-40 thousand feet.. simple greed and logic more

Airport is a luxury place for Govt as well as vendors and all other related agencies. Hence every agency will increase their share, thus the value of an item is priced skyrocketing. Now the times have changed and even middle class people are also travelling, hence Govt and other agencies must have a self control on levying tax/profit margin. more

The best way would be either to have your tiffin at home before leaving or to carry it along. Under no circumstances one should opt for airport-made drinks or foods to avoid spending on such exorbitant prices. more
