Is this the most expensive McDonalds in the world?

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 in Milan (in the very posh shopping arcade, the name of which escapes me) is amazing. They do mini calzone pizza things, and there's also an area upstairs like a patisserie with coffee in glass cups and very nice cakes served on china plates with cake forks. And I don't remember it being expensive at all.

Dalaman? Paid over 50 quid last year for 2 happy meals and two cheese burger meals. Wasn't very good either.

That was my first thought! We flew from there about 12 years ago...I remember making the kids put back Fruit Shoots,they were about £4!! 😮😂 We had been warned about the airport, but thought 'how bad can it be...?'.

Sorry for not coming back sooner…I was sleeping 😂

So lots of people correctly guessed that this was in Dalaman airport (Turkey).

Eye wateringly expensive! Not sure how they get away with it???

I’ve been to quite a few of the other airport McDs mentioned here-Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, Rome - and they definitely weren’t as expensive as this when I was there. That might have changed!

Sounds like Istanbul airport similarly expensive so maybe Turkey is the most expensive place to buy a McDs!

Feeling really ignorant because I had to look Dalaman up on the map!

Me too 😂

Judellie · 18/04/2024 07:44

Is this supposed to be a guessing game? Just the header says 'is this the most expensive McD in the world' and people are suggesting other places are more expensive and then others are saying 'that country doesn't use the Euro' because of the picture.
So I'm thinking there are actually two questions:

  1. Where is the most expensive McD in the world (and Switzerland's definitely a contender there) and
  2. Where is this in the picture?

Some of the service stations in France are pretty pricy for McDs.

WittiestUsernameEver · 18/04/2024 07:34

Zurich is the most expensive

Happyorchidlady · 18/04/2024 07:33

That has to be Dalaman. The only airport I’ve been to that made Dubai look cheap.

IHateLegDay · 18/04/2024 07:31

I have to know where it is 😂

AnImaginaryCat · 18/04/2024 07:30

If the OP doesn't come back and tell us, the only sensible solution is each of us travels to a different airport in the Euro zone and check the price.

We can exclude Schipol seeing @lezsucks has done that recently, the rest we can divvy out between ourselves.

youngestisapsycho · 18/04/2024 07:27

It’s Dalaman. I was there on Saturday. Couldn’t believe how many people were buying it! There were other food options.

StarlightLady · 18/04/2024 07:27

Maybe Singapore?

But that’s a good thing because there are so many great places to eat there.

Iceland also doesn't have McD's any more.

Show quote history

Definitely not Iceland then. We went in 2018 and ended up having a Domino’s one day but even that was blooming expensive!

lezsucks · 18/04/2024 07:20

It’s not schipol! I felt robbed the other night paying 15 euros for a Big Mac meal but it appears I got a bargain. 😂

EasternEcho · 18/04/2024 07:15

I think its Dalaman too.

BarryKentPoet · 18/04/2024 07:15

Dalaman airport was eye-watering prices too.

Mia184 · 18/04/2024 07:13

Frankfurt?

Wigtopia · 18/04/2024 07:10

TwirlyWhirlie · 18/04/2024 06:51

I was tempted to say Iceland but then remembered that they don’t use the euro. It was so bloody expensive when we went. I reckon it was Finland.

Edited

Beefcurtains79 · 18/04/2024 06:52

Are you going to tell us OP?
