The airport looks nice, and my experiences have been generally good. However, I cannot understand the lack of available food options/vendors when in the departure lounge. And, the options that are there are grossly overpriced. Now I understand in most airports you are paying a premium for almost any product, but some of these prices are extortionate. I wish somehow Skyport could at a minimum, implement in these contracts, that the restaurants/vendors must be open at certain times to support the passengers who are in the departure lounge.
We have a World Class airport but the worst restaurant facility out of any airport located in the Atlantic. They should’ve contracted MEF which was a delight when located at the old terminal.
Thank the useless oba. Old bat association
You mean the PLP?
LF Wade is PLP, bye.
That’s because the same parent company owes every restaurant, and the contracts were extortionate; hence the high prices.
It’s also very odd the contracts didn’t include a clause that the restaurants need to be staffed within x amount of hours in the event of aircraft emergency. There’s even been times when the restaurants have ran out of food because delayed flights.
