Are you cute? Flight charges for being 'cute'! Know the booking charges

People choose flights for travel because they are fast and convenient, saving time compared to driving or taking trains. Flights can also efficiently reach faraway destinations, making them ideal for long-distance travel.

Recently, a software engineer named Mandeep Singh shared a post on LinkedIn about flight booking charges, specifically highlighting an unusual charge labeled as "Cute Charge," which quickly went viral on social media.

In the post, he shared a screenshot of flight booking charges that included a Rs 50 "Cute Charge." In the caption, the software engineer asked, "What is the 'Cute Charge' in flight bookings?" sparking widespread interest and reactions from people.

One user humorously commented, "Maybe they'll treat you as a cute passenger 😀," while another joked, "Tell them 'you're not cute' for a 100% refund, and if you say 'you're ugly,' you might get an extra 50 rupees 🤣."

Another user wondered, "If it's not cute, how do we get a refund? 🙂," and yet another quipped, "I thought 'cute charges' were for passengers who made the airline raise their own cuteness! 😀 😂"

Another user commented “It's a charge that they apply to customers who are: Starts with #C and ends with #A (Hindi Translation). Rest, I am sure you can add the missing letters 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #iykyk.”

However, many users clarified that "CUTE" stands for "Common User Terminal Equipment," encompassing various airport facilities like boarding pass machines, baggage intake systems, escalators, air conditioning, security scanners, flight information TVs, and shuttle buses.
