If you are about to pay a visit to the new Terminal 3 (T3) of Delhi airport, it is time for you to master the art of controlling the bladder. This is because answering call of the nature will mean a loss of R 80 (80 rupees).

The newly integrated terminal catering to international flights, as of now, has cost more than R 10,000 crore and this is the reason why nothing can’t be considered as cheap here, not even answering nature’s call.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

While entry to the arrival visitor’s lounge will cost R 80, visitors could enter the lounges at the departure for free on the first two days after operations began on July 28. If you want to visit the restroom or even buy a bottle of water, you will have to pay and enter the visitor’s lounge, as no facilities are available outside the terminal.

Even at the old Terminal 2, visitors coming to receive or see off passengers had to pay R80 to enter the visitor’s lounge but there were enough number of toilets outside the terminal, near the airline offices.

There were also quite a few food and beverages outlets outside the terminal. “Toilets are available at the multi-level car parking, which visitors can use,” said a spokesman of the private airport operator Delhi International Airport Ltd. (DIAL).

“We are being treated like animals at this airport because we arrived a few hours before we were supposed to check in for our flight,” said Sylvia, a Spanish national. “There is nothing to drink or eat here and I can’t find a restroom,” she said.

This bizarre step taken by the airport authorities is surely not taken in good taste by visitors to the airport since a good agency should not tax on basic things of life and this was surely not required.
