What’s the deal with airside facilities at CPT?
Sitting in international departures at Cape Town International, and amazed how underwhelming the facilities are.
Even compared to domestic airside, the lack of any brands (no Wimpey, Mugg, Exclusive Books etc) and the lack of restaurants - there’s two (the sushi bar only appeared a couple of years old) plus a deli. The main restaurant is a miserable experience - I’ve just sent back my quesadilla because the chicken was raw.
Given the forex passing through these days, I don’t understand the lack of facilities and brands - it feels like somebody’s uncle won a long-term tender.
Any insights?
