A social media user commented, “Therapy ka kharcha nahi denge kya?” in response to the video.
By providing goodie packages, IndiGo attempted to allay passengers’ irritation amid a persistent wave of aircraft delays and cancellations. The airline was seen delivering these bags to travelers impacted by the extended operational difficulties in an Instagram video.
An “unboxing” video of what was commonly referred to as a “apology token” from the airline was captured by one passenger. There were a few goodies in the goodie bag that IndiGo distributed, but not nearly enough to satisfy the irate passengers. Suggested Narratives
The Goodie Bag Apology Token from IndiGo
The airline’s move backfired, as many people made fun of IndiGo on social media for causing one of the biggest flight disruptions, impacting travelers who had made reservations months in advance. Aaira Gaurav, a content creator, posted a video that showed the small goodie bag that IndiGo employees gave to passengers who were waiting. She described it as a “unboxing: sorry token from IndiGo for flight delay.”

Gaurav removed caramel popcorn, baked methi mathri, a carton of mixed fruit juice, tissue paper, and a Samsung-branded card from the bag one by one. These restaurants, beverages, and the card must have seemed like a token gesture of support rather than a sincere apology to the hundreds of people whose plans were derailed by the subsequent cancellations.
People Make Fun of the Goodie Bag
Social media users mocked IndiGo for possibly causing the largest flight interruption in recent memory as the video of the goodie bag unpacking gained popularity. It is a meal for you to consume while you wait, not an apology. Regarding the goodie package, someone remarked, “We got it even though our flight was delayed by 1.5 hours last year.” “Kharche nahi dengay kya therapy ke? One person joked, “Will not they pay for therapy?
“Lucky you, we got merely a chilly drink after requesting,” said another commenter.
The Indian government authorities have taken action since the interruption, ordering IndiGo to reduce scheduled flights by 5% in the middle of several cancellations in various cities. A startling 400 IndiGo flights were reportedly canceled just on Tuesday, December 9. IndiGo has blamed the widespread disruption on its adoption of updated Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) regulations, which limit pilots’ duty hours.
