Question 5

Can I use currencies other than U.S. dollars at restaurants or shops?

Accepted Answer

No, only U.S. dollars are accepted, but you can also pay easily with a credit or debit card.

Question 6

Why might food and beverage prices be higher at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Airport food and beverage operators face unique costs that restaurants outside the airport typically do not, including additional security, training, logistics, and higher construction expenses. Because of this, we allow concessionaires to charge prices to customers at a level not to exceed 15 percent more than the local, off-airport “street prices” for comparable products.

To ensure affordable options remain available, participating dining and retail locations offer a selection of value-priced food, beverage, and retail items throughout the airport, including $2 bottled water. To find these items, look for the “We Value You” logo at participating shops and restaurants.

Question 7

What are the surcharges that are appearing on my dining receipts?

Accepted Answer

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Board of Commissioners approved the 3% Employee Benefits and Retention Surcharge for airport concessionaires to use to support workforce stability at Newark Liberty International (EWR), John F. Kennedy (JFK), and Laguardia (LGA) airport. This policy allows airport concessionaires to add an employee benefits and retention surcharge and caps the percentage at three percent of a customer's pre-tax bill.
