Do you guys pay for overpriced airport food?

>>21426292 (OP)
On international flights with long layovers, sure.
It's probably not the case anymore since this was back when Hong Kong was its own country or whatever, but I remember the HK airport food being pretty damn good and not badly priced. Good beer, too.
Everywhere else it's been a disaster.

Eating on an airplane sucks, you're like a little t-rex trying to not elbow other passengers.

One time a while ago, some employee left a cart full of sandwiches for their restaurant unattended in a random hallway. I took a few, enjoyed one on the flight, and had the rest over the rest of the day. I have never bought airport food otherwise.
Also why do any of that when you could just bring your own food/snacks in your carry-on backpack? Airport security will let just about anything through short of literal soup

I just steal it. What's wagie mcwagie gonna do? Cry?

Nah I usually bring a few deli sandwiches.

>he doesn't immediately claim ownership of both armrests
Well yeah, that doesn't help that much, anything but a dead on t-rex arm angle and I'm immediately elbowing the other passengers.

It's only the western airports that are overpriced. Had a layover in Singapore, the food there was cheap and good.

>>21426292 (OP)
I never eat anything the entire day I have a flight because I'm too scared of having to shit on the plane

>>21426387
technically you'd shit in the plane

>>21426393
Saar I shit in the street. Filthy cumskin shit in bowl like benchod

A few airports like Portland require prices for airport restaurants to be the same as those in town. A few restaurants have airport only locations, so they can set their own prices, but that is somewhat constrained since the other restaurants around them have normal prices. Even in airports without that rule, greater choice equals lower prices. Where you really don't want to be is at some small podunk airport with just one or two places to eat. Then you're fucked.

Well, my company does, and I take advantage.

High altitude makes you gassy. Planes are pressurized to 10000ft

>>21426292 (OP)
No because I have the ability to go 4 hours without stuffing my face

>>21426292 (OP)
I try not to. But occasionally I find myself stuck and it's meal time, so I indulge in a restaurant in the port from time to time. The restaurants aren't all that bad, it's the fast food and convenience shit that is vastly overpriced for the quality level.

>>21426384
That is because airports have to hire people who AREN'T criminal assholes for wage slaves, which vastly reduces the hiring pool to people who demand real wages. Can't hire an undocumented immigrant or a felon for cheap, big no-no for airports because of all the security.

Meanwhile, Asia doesn't have this problem because not all of their "poor" are cunts and assholes that break laws and can't work in airports.

>>21426292 (OP)
The only people I ever see sitting in the restaurants are wearing suits and nice dresses, the usual people buying quick prepared food are usually families.
Personally, I'll grab a beer, helps me sleep a bit easier once you take off.

I do because I get it reimbursed :))
That's why airport food is so expensive. 1/2 the people get their receipts covered by work anyways so they're willing to overpay. 1/4th are a trapped captive audience who have no other choice. 1/4th are retarded and don't care.

>>21426292 (OP)
I have lounge access so IF I'm hungry I just eat in there. But I typically don't need to cram food up my cramhole just to sit through a flight.

>>21426292 (OP)
Only poorfags do. Chads get into airport lounges and get absolutely smashed on free alcohol before flights. Also fucked a rich english slut in an airport lounge shower before she went off to thailand with her friends.

>>21426384
That's not True. Middle Eastern and African Airport food is expensive almost the same as Western Airports.
T. has been to Dubai,Doha,Amman,Cairo,Tunis ,Casablanca, Addis-Abeba, Nairobi, Lagos and Johannesburg

>Do you guys pay for overpriced airport food?
Not always...depends on if I am hungry or when I will eat next. Often, airports are featuring local restaurants that are semi-famous for their authenic regional cuisine, so yes, I do seek them out. I frequently fly and I can probably tell you 1-2 favorites on each concourse in most cities. It's not always a ripoff, and you may really need that quart of smartwater for an international flight and your first night of hotel.

I usually eat in the airport, but sometimes you're rushed! I've made the crew jealous when they see my Rick Bayliss Frontera chips & guac come out after they start the drinks down the aisle. Cold beer, nice start to a flight. I've even packed insulated thermos' to sip a hot drink from Starbucks for hours. I like the cuban pastries, coffees, and sandwiches in Miami and Tampa. Lots of choices in Atlanta and DC, which are my favorites.

If it's like 6am and I'm really hungry, sure. I find that at least in Northern Europe there's always one restaurant which is decently fancy without too much of a markup.

>>21426292 (OP)
If I have to wait for a couple hours I'll get a beer and a small bite to eat.
I dont do layovers or multi-stop flights anymore, I much prefer just doing direct non-stop flights or just staying in an airport hotel for a night.
I dunno how people casually do a multi stop 36 hour flight like its nothing. Even a 3 hour flight somewhere sucks ass, specially if you know you have to get back on a plane again right after.

I was stuck in a 6 hour layover in Colorado, the flight was originally only 6 hours long.
I was hungry as shit and the biscoff biscuit they give you now just wasn’t cutting it..
I looked around the terminal high and low for something to eat.
Alas most of the fast food places where inexplicably closed.
One store
One single store had a turkey sandwhich for 16$
An absolutely insane price for something that looked like my mother (bless her heart) threw together for my school lunch.
I relented and forked over the cash from my limited funds.
I returned to my gate and chowed down on my sandwhich, in view of that wretched blue horse statue.
I swear it’s demonic eyes flashed red when I felt the heat encompass my mouth.
My eyes bulged from their sockets as I struggled to find relief from my water bottle that had long since run dry.
I looked at the packaging
>mesquite smoked turkey club with ghost pepper mayo
I ran around looking for a fountain but all the ones nearby were out of order
Red as a tomato and sweating profusely I returned to the shop and bought the only drink they had in stock.
Diet 7up
7$
Suffice to say I pay extra now to avoid any layovers in Denver

I got Tortas Frontera at O'Hare once, on the company dime. One of the better airport restaurants I've been to, even if they only serve one thing.

I almost exclusively take early morning flights so there's rarely anything open more complex than Dunkin Donuts or McD

>>21426384
Not to be all >thing, Japan, but the contrast between the prices at Haneda and those in Europe was painful. Like an amount that would get you a medium bag of chips in Munich was enough for a decent complete meal in Japan...
As far as I remember the prices in the 7-Eleven in front of the gates were exactly the same as the ones anywhere else

>>21426292 (OP)
not usually, most often get free food and drinks in the lounge. only venture out depending on how shitty the lounge is but Delta is generally pretty good

>>21426292 (OP)
last airport food i got was a "meal deal" in London Stansted, 2 triangle sandwiches, a bag of chips and a vanilla milk drink for £5.5
not too bad for airport food imo
