A surprising incident came to light when an Indigo passenger discovered that a sitting cushion was missing from her seat during the Bengaluru – Bhopal flight in Indigo Airlines. The passenger, Yuvanika Raj Shah took her social media handle to share the picture of the missing seat.

She captioned it, “Beautiful @IndiGo6E — I do hope I land safely! :) This is your flight from Bengaluru to Bhopal 6E 6465.”
Responding to the incident, the air carrier said that cushions were removed for the cleaning and passengers were informed by the cabin crew.

Ma'am, thank you for speaking with us. The seat cushions were replaced prior to the flight for cleaning purposes. Our cabin crew promptly informed the customers who were allotted these seats. This is a standard practice for cleaning during transit as and when required. (1/2)

The post has caught the attention of thousands of people reacting to it. 

One of the users, sharing the older pics said, "Btw, you won’t believe this may actually be more comfy than the cushion they’ll actually provide …"

Other user wrote, "ye ticket mein accupressure bhi de rahe hain kya indigo waale"

Another user sarcasitcally said, "Saw a similar seat while flying Indigo from Mumbai to Indore last week. They fixed the cushion only after the actual passenger turned up. May be they are facing cushion shortage and using as per demand !"
