This is a 2ndary fedi account. I’m mostly over at mstdn.ca. #WOC, #GenY #avgeek. Godmother to Todd, a golden retriever.
I’ve opted to focus this account on sharing interesting #aviation links.

12·9 days agoNo I’m not. You can bring food past security, not liquids. I’ve brought on food bought from outside the airport & I always carry an empty reusable water bottle through security. Maybe check your privilege before going off on mansplaining.
“government agency” doesn’t own & run the shops & concessions. The monopoly is the corporate companies that own & run the retail. Yes, they pay rent to the airport authority, but they as the commercial enterprise sets the prices.
I like how PDX proves the capitalists wrong. They kept street pricing with no additional markup, & ppl actually spend more.
I think there’s a correlation with the overpriced & uncapped cost of food in the terminals & the increasing use of (& thus increasing lack of ‘exclusivity’ of) airport lounges. Consumers are seeking better value, & if you can benefit from loyalty plans at the lounges, why get gouged with monopolized retail?
