Agree on the fuel consumption part. But most of the domestic passengers travel with much lighter baggage than permissible limit. So this should compensate.

Hi, Although your idea is thought provoking and bordering on the unusual, we must realise why the airline charges so much for a pack of cashewnuts.
We need to consider that each packet of cashewnut's weight about 20gms? it may seem insignificant but adding say 1kg of unsold cashewnut per trip to the fuel consumed.. and the price per packet wud go up.
Also realise that LCC by their

Hey,

Nice little discussion we've seen here! Fun ...

The crux is pricing suitably, really. But tell u what...capitalism hasnt matured yet in India at least.

Airline managers need to just know what is a basic need and what is avoidable and price accordingly to make volumes.

Cashews, coffee, chips...comeon these are not rolls royce or bentleys that u can make ur

I was just joking. Cashew nuts aren't as bad as they're made out to be. In fact, I love (dry) roasted salted cashews and they've not done me any harm yet.

@Laddoo,

The cinema experience same everywhere. Thanks for sharing.

@Hari,

I don't see any health concern eating 4-5 cashew nuts...

There is discouragement for eating cashews when you're flying 30,000 feet about the ground.

What if you had a tummy upset in mid-air? I don't trust the airplane toilets to do justice to such scenarios.

2008-07-10T15:15:00.000+05:30

I too agree that its business and so the cost price for selling cashews might be higher!
BTW, if you have watched movies in the multiplex in malls, the experience is no different - I watched Jaane Tu in Garuda Mall last night and here are the damages:
Ticket fare: Rs.170(being a week day, it was less!), Rs.45 for 250 ml of Coke and Rs.30 for 1L Aquafina, in addition to the parking fee

Thanks.

@Goli,
Yes, As replied to Mridula, I dont call it a robbery-just a bad business approach.

@ Mohan,

2008-07-10T09:36:00.000+05:30

Hmm... Interesting preposition.

They way all the airlines have misjudged the requirements, its going to be 50 Re per cashew very soon.

Interestingly king mallya is attempting to eat into every other airline and quite sucesfull too. Hope he will not go down carrying all the weight and is bailed out from BIFR using common mans money.

2008-07-09T23:14:00.000+05:30

that is how all this airlines make money by selling stuff. They are forced to sell the tickets for so cheap because of competition.

I really would not call it robbery because that business. Unless they force the passengers to buy it. Of course people have option of buying it from airport as well. People have the choice.

2008-07-09T21:02:00.000+05:30

On the outset, this seem to be a promising business model. Fair and ethical business for sure compared to other crooked businesses that are in the news ;)

@Mridula,

Well, I dont want to term it as robbery- If they had priced ticket fare some 200 rs higher and given this groundnut for free, probably we wouldn't have complained...

@Rajesh Kumar,
Thanks for the suggestion.
