Selling Cashewnuts on Indigo Flight!

Posted on July 9, 2008

Shrinidhi is quite irked to discover that Indigo Airlines sells 4 to 5 cashewnuts for Rs. 50.

Without any further delay, let me come to the point. Of so many items they sell on board, ‘flavored’ cashew nut seems to be the most popular and tasty one. They sell a small packet of cashewnut for Rs 50. When I saw the packet, I was hoping it will be at least 50 gms. Only after I got one in my hands I realized that it is just 20 gms-I ended up paying 50 Rs for just 4-5 cashewnuts.

So here is what he proposes-

Now, my proposition is that I can sell better quality cashew nut, for lesser price, in higher quantity than what Indigo currently does. While Indigo sells 20 gms for Rs 50, I propose to sell 25 gms for Rs 40.
…
Hello Indigo…Are you listening? I want to sell cashew nut on board your flights-please permit!

    Skyrocketing fuel prices probably have made the air transport industry go to such lengths..

    Deccan sells samosas and sandwiches. However, my Delhi-Leh flight was delayed by 3 hours and we got free food. BTW Deccan seats do not recline. See my Leh trip photos here: http://atulks.myphotoalbum.com

    I know, that is called fleecing the customer in my vocabulary.Indica, I remember absurd rices even before the fuel prices escalated.Shrinidhi, I would hold you to it :)Atul, thanks for the link, Pangong Lake brings back so many fond memories. I think that reflection of mountains (cover picture) is also of Pangong Lake?
