(Photos: X/@chotadon)A family turned the cabin of an IndiGo flight into a mini cafeteria, complete with snacks and disposable plates. A video of the in-flight feast has gone viral and raised many eyebrows.The video, shared on X, showed a woman opening up a stack of disposable plates and beginning to serve food to members of her family. As the camera moved around the cabin, several passengers from the group were seen eating from their plates, while a spread of condiments and snacks were served to them.The meal appeared to include a familiar mix of samosas, dhoklas, theplas and namkeen mixtures. The family seemed to have come prepared, turning what is usually a quick meal or snack during a flight into something resembling a family get-together.The scene did not stop at the food. Some of the girls in the group were seen doing their press-on nails, while others remained focused on the elaborate spread. Members of the family could also be seen moving around the cabin carrying their plates. Towards the end of the video, the woman who had started serving the food was seen collecting the used disposable plates and other waste into a large garbage bag.Watch the video here: The video has now gone viral, with the odd in-flight feast prompting mixed reactions from social media users. While some were amused by the family’s preparations, others questioned whether such a spread was appropriate inside a flight cabin.One X user questioned why the airline’s cabin crew had not intervened, writing, “Airlines should have a policy that outside food is not allowed, like restaurants do.”Others focused on what they saw as a lack of civic sense, particularly the possibility of strong food smells affecting fellow passengers in a confined cabin. One user argued that the issue was not simply about bringing food aboard, but about its smell potentially lingering throughout the journey and making other passengers uncomfortable.The debate also extended to the family’s movement around the cabin and the way the food was being served.The article will be updated once IndiGo issues an official statement regarding the viral video.For now, the clip has left the internet divided over one simple question; is sharing a family feast on a flight harmless fun, or does it cross the line of basic cabin etiquette?- EndsPublished By: Srimoyee ChowdhuryPublished On: Aug 26, 2026 13:17 IST
