There seems to be no limit to the price of tea and coffee in the Airports. Earlier, about one year back,coffee and tea was available in Delhi Airport for Rs. 20 and Rs. 10/- respectively. Of course there were stalls selling for Rs. 40/- and Rs. 60/- also. After the modernisation of the Terminal 3, the prices have been increasing regularly.
Today when I was going to Bangalore from Delhi, before proceeding to the boarding, we went to the Cafe Coffee Day and asked for two tea. Oh! the bill was for Rs.200/! Rs 100/- for a cup of tea. A cup of Coffee costs Rs. 150/-. The earlier stalls selling for less price are all gone.
This is not the case of Delhi Airport alone. Most of the airports in the metros are having the same/ similar increased costs.
But there is another surprise. Last time I travelled in a low-priced airline, I ordered for a coffee. The Air Hostess gave one coffee and two delicious biscuits. And the price was only Rs.20/-
Rs. 20/ for a cup of coffee with biscuits in the plane and Rs. 150- in the airport!
