Airport food prices are universally hated. Travelers said they’d ban markups that make a bottled water cost R80 or a burger R300. While people expect to pay a bit more, some think airport vendors take advantage of the lack of options. One person suggested a pricing cap to keep things reasonable. Another said they’d rather fast than pay “R200 for a sad ham sandwich.”
