‘₹400 Rajma Chawal’: Redditor Rages Over SpiceJet Flight Delay and Delhi Airport Food Prices


The frustration was compounded by a delay in their SpiceJet flight. Initially scheduled to depart on time, the flight was delayed by an hour. Passengers then had to wait an additional 30 minutes after boarding before the aircraft took off. At 12:30 PM, travelers were informed that the flight would now depart at 2:45 PM.

The post, shared on August 25, sparked a flurry of comments from fellow Redditors. Reactions ranged from suggestions to bring food from home to criticisms of SpiceJet’s service. One user remarked, “These are pretty common rates at airports. T3 has a huge variety of food options, so you must have missed that section. SpiceJet’s service is lacking, though.”

Another commenter shared their own negative experience with SpiceJet, saying, “Never travel with SpiceJet. Once, my flight was delayed from 3:30 PM to around 9:30 PM. Since then, I’ve avoided this airline.”

A third user advised, “Airport food is expensive everywhere. It’s like complaining about sand at the beach. You should prepare better for such expenses.”

The post highlights ongoing issues with airport amenities and airline services, reflecting broader frustrations experienced by travelers.
