Imagine you’ve booked your flight, grabbed your ticket, and excitedly stepped onto the plane, only to encounter a rather unexpected scenario – your seat is missing. Yes, that’s exactly what happened to a passenger aboard an IndiGo flight from Bengaluru to Bhopal when she found no cushion on the seats. Yavanika Raj Shah took her astonishment to ‘X’, delivering a witty jab at the airline while crossing her fingers for a smooth landing!

Sharing her experience on ‘X’, Yavanika snapped a photo of the cushionless seats, playfully tagging IndiGo with the caption, “Beautiful @IndiGo6E — I do hope I land safely! ???? This is your flight from Bengaluru to Bhopal 6E 6465.” Before she knew it, her post had gone viral, drawing in a flurry of humorous comments.

After all, let’s face it, is this really a one-off incident? Not quite. Complaints about such airline mishaps have become somewhat of a common tale, with netizens now opting to laugh it off rather than sympathise.

“I hope these seats are of 0₹ during web checkin,” quipped one user. “Maybe the previous passengers carried them off,” suggested another. “I heard about breath taking but never heard about seat taking. This has to be the first time,” chimed in a third. And the fourth summed it up humorously, “How much extra did Indigo charge you for the special seats?”

But amidst the banter, IndiGo stepped in with a response to the viral post, writing, “Ma’am, thank you for speaking with us. The seat cushions were replaced prior to the flight for cleaning purposes. Our cabin crew promptly informed the customers who were allotted these seats. This is a standard practice for cleaning during transit as and when required. We are committed to providing the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene to our customers.”
