Travelling home from holiday last week and these were the prices at the airport McDonalds!

22 Euros for a double Big Mac meal!

Anyone want to guess which airport? And is there a more expensive McDonald’s out there?

McDonald's at Airports

  • Heathrow Airport, London, UK: As one of the busiest airports in the world, Heathrow has high food prices across the board. A Big Mac meal can easily exceed £10 ($13), especially with add-ons.
  • JFK Airport, New York, USA: Prices are notoriously high at this major international hub. A meal can range from $12 to $15, depending on the time and location within the airport.
  • Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Netherlands: Similar to other major airports, a Big Mac meal can cost around €15 ($16.50) or more, especially during peak travel seasons.

I remembered this thread when at Antalya airport recently, wowzers, you weren't wrong!! (What a horrible airport too! 😳)

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 29/09/2024 21:30

Corfu? We paid similar there

This thread has resurrected in time for me to join in and moan about having just flown back from Bodrum in Turkey.
Three coffees in the airport Costa.
Go on have a guess…

Actually unlike the OP I will tell you now.
TWENTY THREE EUROS.
For three coffees.
In Turkey.

We've just paid £20.90 for a small glass of wine at a North East Airport. It was rank as well.

Did it come with a free orgasm?! Wow I am willing to pay for a decent glass of wine but they could keep that!

FlipFlop1987 · 25/04/2024 21:41

Yep Turkey is one of the cheapest countries for a package holiday, very reasonable when you’re there but have the most ridiculous airport costs. Dalaman, Bodrum, Antalya, all the same. They are also insanely hot so you need to buy drinks. We go next week and it’s our seventh time in 9 years though so we obviously think it’s worth it, just load up on AI before you get on the coach!

pambeesleyhalpert · 25/04/2024 16:35

Why is Dalaman so expensive? I thought turkey was cheap? Not heard of it before!

Cripes. I paid less than that in St Tropez (most expensive place I’ve had a glass of wine.

WibblyWobblyWeeble · 25/04/2024 01:04

Ouch.
I thought £15 in a London theatre was bad, and it tasted like boot polish.

Yes. Firstly they all show up in green, and also if you go to the original post you click on "see all" and there they are :)

RLmadmum · 20/04/2024 03:45

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - that's the one! (I didn't have to Google that, honest! 😉) I'll remember the tip about the place round the corner if we ever go again, thank you.

Found it! Luini. If I could eat nothing else for the rest of my life...

Crazymumx3 · 20/04/2024 00:29

Dalaman definitely highest price wev ever paid or seen but nit euros so guessing its somewhere else

PrincessHoneysuckle · 18/04/2024 08:02

Dalaman is a joke unsure why coz Antalya was fine

Antalya also far more expensive than other airports

Is this the most expensive McDonalds in the world?

The cost of getting food into the airport and the cost of leasing the space is likely the driver. Some airports make use these high costs to fund airport operations etc. Thats for example why budget airlines run out of airports like Luton because the whole airport is no frills

Looks similar to the Mallorcan airport prices, plus the cheeky fuckers don't bother with fish or veggie options!
