Air Ventures LLC is an airport food and beverage concessionaire that owns and operates full‑service and quick‑service restaurants, bars, and cafes in major U.S. airports.
Air Ventures LLC is a privately held airport concessions company that specializes in food and beverage operations inside U.S. airports. It partners with well‑known national and regional brands and also develops its own concepts, such as Grille District at Washington Reagan National Airport, along with operating outlets like coffee shops, casual restaurants, and bars at airports including Boston Logan, Washington Dulles, Reagan National, JFK, BWI, Pittsburgh, Cleveland Hopkins, and Nashville.([linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/air-ventures-llc?utm_source=openai))
A charge reading “TST AIR VENTURES - GR” likely comes from a Toast POS transaction (“TST*” prefix) at an airport restaurant or bar operated by Air Ventures, with “GR” indicating a specific concept or location (for example, a Grille‑branded concept) within an airport. The charge typically represents same‑day dining—food, drinks, or takeaway—while you were traveling. In some cases you may see a preauthorization or pending charge (often at bars) that later finalizes at a slightly different amount once tip is added or the tab is closed.
To verify this charge, start by matching the date and airport of your trip with any food or bar visits in terminals where Air Ventures operates. Check your email for e‑receipts from the restaurant brand you visited, or review your travel itinerary for the airports you passed through. If something looks off, contact the specific airport restaurant listed on your receipt or reach out to the customer service contact shown on your receipt or the Air Ventures website. Your card issuer can also help dispute unfamiliar charges, but it is faster if you can confirm whether someone on your itinerary (including authorized card users) dined at an Air Ventures location on that date.

Why do I see a charge from “TST AIR VENTURES - GR” on my card statement?
This descriptor indicates a Toast POS (“TST*”) transaction processed at an airport restaurant or bar operated by Air Ventures LLC, with “GR” referring to a specific concept or outlet (likely a Grille‑style restaurant) inside an airport. The charge typically corresponds to food or beverages you purchased while traveling.
Is “AIR VENTURES - GR” tied to a specific airport location?
Air Ventures operates multiple concepts across U.S. airports, including Boston Logan, Reagan National, Dulles, JFK, BWI, Pittsburgh, Cleveland Hopkins, and Nashville.([linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/air-ventures-llc?utm_source=openai)) The “GR” suffix most likely points to a particular unit—often a Grille‑branded restaurant or bar—at one of these airports. To pinpoint which one, match the transaction date and time to your travel itinerary and boarding passes.
Can Air Ventures charges appear under different restaurant brand names?
Yes. Air Ventures is the concessionaire behind a mix of branded and proprietary concepts (for example, Grille District, various bars, and national brands like Dunkin’ or Jamba Juice at certain airports).([linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/air-ventures-llc?utm_source=openai)) Depending on the setup, your statement may show the operating company (Air Ventures), the brand name, or a mix such as “AIR VENTURES - [concept code].”
Why did my Air Ventures charge change amount between ‘pending’ and ‘posted’?
Airport bars and restaurants frequently place an authorization hold for the pre‑tip amount, then update it when you sign for the final total including tip. This can make the pending charge differ slightly from the final posted amount. If the difference doesn’t match your tip, check your receipt and contact the location for clarification.
How can I request a refund or correction for an Air Ventures restaurant charge?
First, locate your itemized receipt or recall the exact airport, terminal, and approximate time of your visit. Call or email the specific restaurant (often listed on the receipt or on the airport’s concessions directory) and ask for a manager, explaining the issue and providing the last four digits of your card, date, and charge amount. If you cannot reach the outlet or the issue remains unresolved, contact your card issuer to open a dispute.
How do I get a copy of my receipt from an Air Ventures location?
If you did not receive a receipt at the time of purchase, check any email or text receipts from the day you traveled—many airport outlets offer digital receipts. If you still can’t find it, contact the restaurant at the airport where you dined, providing the date, approximate time, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look up and re‑send the receipt.
Could someone else’s airport purchase show up as an Air Ventures charge on my card?
It’s possible if your card was used without your permission in an airport or if an authorized user on your account made a purchase at an Air Ventures location while traveling. Review your travel history and ask any authorized users about their recent trips. If nobody recognizes the transaction, report it to your card issuer immediately as potential fraud.
Does Air Ventures offer any loyalty or discounts that might affect the charge amount?
Some of the branded concepts operated by Air Ventures may participate in airline, card‑linked, or brand‑specific promotions (for example, happy‑hour pricing, airline employee discounts, or brand loyalty programs). Any discounts should appear on your printed or digital receipt; the final amount posted by Air Ventures should match that discounted total plus any tip you authorized.
