Travelling is incomplete without some snacks and comfort food. Frequent flyers often carry their own snacks to avoid spending too much on typically expensive airport food. However, if you forget to pack your own, you might be left with no option but to splurge at the airport. This might be the norm, but a video going viral on Instagram shows a clever hack to get your favourite munchies at no extra cost.
In the video, content creator @travel360.explore shared that she was travelling from Gwalior to Singapore with a few hours' layover at Delhi Airport (T1). "Just when I reached the terminal, I realised I'd forgotten to pack my snacks and personal care items," she shared.
Since she had some time on her hands before her evening flight to Singapore, the content creator decided to try Blinkit instead of shopping inside the airport.
Calling it a game-changing travel hack, she wrote, "I stepped out of Arrival, set my location to current location, and to my surprise, Blinkit delivered right inside Delhi Airport! Within 10-15 minutes, I received all my essentials (and a few extras too). Honestly, this was such a game-changer travel hack - quick, smooth, and super convenient. Huge thanks to Blinkit for saving my airport day and helping me fly to Singapore fully stocked with snacks!"
The viral video has clocked 2.5 million views.
In the caption, she wrote, "POV: You saved ₹1000 on airport snacks because you just found out you can order Blinkit inside Delhi Airport."
Many people found this hack useful, sharing their views in the comments section:
A user joked, "So, no more 'ye 10 wala biscuit ka packet kitne ka h ji' at airports..??" Another chimed in, "Love these delivery services in India. In 15-20 mins you can order anything anywhere."
A viewer shared, "I did the same at Mumbai airport." Finding the hack useful, one recalled, "Very, very smart choice. This is reminding me of Domino's campaigning to serve pizzas anywhere."
Sharing their own hack, a user commented, "I once ordered food at the airport before entering. Got the food from the best restaurant at 1/5 of the airport price."
Despite a 77.5 per cent drop in stubble burning, i.e., agricultural waste - normally a significant reason for air pollution in Delhi during the winter - AQI in the national capital plummeted to a five-year post-Diwali low Tuesday morning.
Nutritionist Lovneet Batra has shared a simple Ayurvedic drink on Instagram that, she says, may help soothe the respiratory tract and protect the lungs from pollution damage.
The festive season, coupled with seasonal weather changes and increased stubble burning in neighbouring states, has exacerbated pollution levels, prompting calls for preventive measures.
As Delhi's air quality drops again, these 11 hill stations offer clean air, calm views and mountain peace after Diwali.
AAP MLA Gopal Rai accused the Delhi government of "making excuses" and not taking action to prevent the pollution.

Friday December 20, 2024While some may argue that people in Delhi are now more aware of air pollution than they were a decade back, my rebuttal would be that awareness does not mean that people are concerned.

Friday November 22, 2024On a good day, such as today, the AQI reading in Delhi is 407. We are jubilant at the sickly sunshine trickling through the slightly dissipated smog. At least its not 1600.

Friday November 08, 2024हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
