$20 avocado toast fuels outrage as travelers say airport food prices are out of control

Travelers are increasingly questioning why a quick bite at the airport can come with a restaurant-level price tag, according to several reports.

A recent viral post on X added to the frustration after a traveler slammed a nearly $20 avocado toast purchased at an airport in the South.

The traveler said the $19.64 breakfast was supposed to include toasted sprout bread, avocado, extra virgin olive oil, bacon and crushed red pepper — but many commenters said the dish looked far less appetizing than the price suggested.
