    Every airport is more expensive than normal fastfood, but our airport is more expensive than normal one because it is more expensive than Europe. The reason for this is the shop rent and the high salaries of the staff who speak foreign languages.

  2. As Turks, we love being ripped off. Whenever there’s someone selling at a higher price, we think it’s better and shop from them. And at airports, when rents are high, they use inflation and the rising dollar exchange rate as an excuse to increase prices even more.

    Welcome to Turkey, where you buy one product and give three as a gift to the government.

  4. Lol look at these nerds trying to justify this shit with rent or something. All London airports are cheaper than Turkish airports. Its because of greed and a failed free market environment.

  5. Not much different than other Airports if memory serves right

    Cheeseburgers were like 4€ in Amsterdam Aiport back in 2019, so this seems in line.

    $28 dollars for a burger combo at San Francisco airport I was flabbergasted. Cost me $5 for a small bottle of water.

    All the shops must pay a hefty percent as bribes to Erdogan the thief’s family.

  8. There is a secret government program to induce intermittent fasting among frequent flyers

  9. Sağ alttaki “YERLİ ÜRETİM” sloganıyla menüdeki fiyatların € olması ayrı bir ironi.

  10. Because part of this price goes to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost in Turkey.

    The funny part is if you fly domestic out of the same airport, the food in that terminal is dirt cheap and much more delicious. My husband and I had an absolute feast for $20 last year flying from IST to Antalya. Then paid $50 for 2 tiny doner wraps when we flew back to the us

  12. Jaysus. Prices in Dublin Airport are almost identical to outside prices. Usually it’s 50 cent or worst case 1 euro more expensive.

    We Turks generally avoid buying anything at airports, they are just rip-offs. Even outside the airports, food prices are very high due to inflation.
