About Trader & Co Cafe

Trader & Co Cafe is a casual airport café located in the Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal at Eagle Farm, Queensland, and is part of Lagardère AWPL’s travel retail foodservice operations across Australia. The café serves barista-made coffee, tea, soft drinks, juices, and a selection of light meals such as pastries, sandwiches, and grab‑and‑go snacks aimed at time‑pressed travelers. Operated under the broader Lagardère AWPL group (lsaspac.com), the venue typically processes payments via tap‑and‑go credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, and standard chip-and-PIN terminals, often using the terminal’s name or the parent company on receipts and statements.

A charge from Trader & Co Cafe (or from a descriptor referencing Lagardère, Lagardère AWPL, LS ASPAC, or Brisbane Airport) usually relates to a one‑time in‑person purchase made at the café—such as coffee, breakfast, or a takeaway snack—before a domestic flight. You might also see a small pending amount if the café’s payment terminal placed a pre‑authorization hold when you tapped your card, which is common with some card processors; this usually converts to the final sale amount or disappears within a few days. Multiple similar charges on the same day can occur if you made separate visits (for example, buying coffee and later a snack) or if a declined attempt was followed by a successful retry.

To verify this charge, start by checking your travel dates and boarding passes around the time of the transaction to see if you were at Brisbane Airport’s domestic terminal. Look for a printed or emailed receipt from the café, or check your mobile wallet history if you used Apple Pay, Google Pay, or similar. If you still have questions, you can contact Brisbane Airport customer service or reach Lagardère AWPL via the contact form on lsaspac.com with the exact date, time, and amount shown on your bank statement so they can locate the transaction. If you suspect an error or fraud, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the charge and request a card replacement if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of purchases usually show up as a Trader & Co Cafe charge on my statement?

Most charges from Trader & Co Cafe relate to in‑person purchases of coffee, tea, bottled drinks, and light meals such as pastries, sandwiches, or snacks at the Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal. Typical transaction amounts range from about AUD $4–$8 for a single drink to $15–$30 for a drink plus food, depending on what you ordered. The descriptor may reference “TRADER & CO CAFE,” “LAGARDERE,” “LAGARDERE AWPL,” or similar, along with “BRISBANE AIRPORT” or “EAGLE FARM.”

Why do I see a small or duplicate pending charge from Trader & Co Cafe?

Some payment terminals used by airport cafés place a small pre‑authorization hold or run an initial test amount when you tap or insert your card. This can appear as a separate pending charge but will usually drop off automatically within a few business days, leaving only the final transaction. If you see two identical completed charges (not pending), contact your bank and reach out to Lagardère AWPL via lsaspac.com with your transaction details to check for a possible duplicate sale.

Does Trader & Co Cafe offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

Trader & Co Cafe does not operate on a subscription or membership model; all charges should be one‑time purchases made in the Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal. If you see recurring monthly charges with a similar name, review the exact descriptor and check whether they might be from a different service under the Lagardère or LS group. For any recurring charge you don’t recognize, contact your bank or card issuer to investigate and potentially block further payments.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Trader & Co Cafe purchase?

If you paid in person, the cashier would have offered a printed receipt at the time of purchase, and your card terminal slip may also serve as proof of payment. If you no longer have it, gather your card’s last four digits, the exact date, approximate time, and amount of the charge, then contact Lagardère AWPL via the contact details on lsaspac.com or Brisbane Airport customer service to ask if a copy can be retrieved. Your mobile wallet or banking app transaction history can also help you verify what was purchased and when, even without a paper receipt.

How do I request a refund or correction for a Trader & Co Cafe charge I believe is wrong?

Start by confirming that you or another authorized cardholder was at Brisbane Airport on the date of the charge and that the amount isn’t a tip or multiple items combined. If you still believe it’s incorrect, note the transaction details (date, time, amount, and statement descriptor) and contact Lagardère AWPL through the support or contact form on lsaspac.com, explaining the issue and attaching any receipts if available. You can also ask your bank or card issuer to open a dispute, particularly if you suspect the card was used without your permission.

Why is the name on my bank statement different from ‘Trader & Co Cafe’?

Because Trader & Co Cafe is part of Lagardère AWPL’s travel retail operations, your bank statement may show the parent company or processor name instead of the café’s full trading name. Descriptors may include terms such as “LAGARDERE,” “LAGARDERE AWPL,” “LS ASPAC,” or a shortened form of the café’s name along with “BRISBANE AIRPORT” or “EAGLE FARM.” If you see one of these around the time you traveled through Brisbane’s domestic terminal, it is likely your purchase at Trader & Co Cafe.

Can I cancel or reverse a Trader & Co Cafe charge after paying?

Since purchases at Trader & Co Cafe are one‑time, in‑person transactions, there is no ongoing service or subscription to cancel after the fact. Reversals or refunds are considered on a case‑by‑case basis, usually only when there has been an error (such as a duplicate charge or incorrect amount). If you believe this has happened, contact Lagardère AWPL with your transaction details or speak to your bank about a chargeback if you cannot resolve it directly.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Trader & Co Cafe charge at all?

First, check whether you or anyone with access to your card traveled through Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal around the date of the charge—airport café transactions are often forgotten amid travel. Review your email confirmations, boarding passes, and any photos or messages from that day to jog your memory. If no one recognizes the purchase, contact your bank immediately to report the charge as potentially fraudulent and ask them to investigate and, if appropriate, issue a new card.
