Istanbul Airport has been named the most expensive airport in the world for eating and drinking, according to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. The place is renowned for charging exorbitant prices for its meals and beverages.
According to the Italian website L’Economia, a small 85-gram piece of lasagna costs almost $28.
“It looks more like a piece of brick with some grated cheese on top and a pseudo-basil leaf,” reported the author of the article.
The article goes on to detail shocking prices, such as a chicken salad costing almost $20 and a simple croissant that can reach $20.
Even with American fast-food chains like Popeyes and McDonald’s, prices can still shock travelers at Istanbul Airport.
Corriere della Sera reported that a meal with four pieces of fried chicken wings, fries, and a Coca-Cola costs nearly $20. A Big Mac or a Double Quarter Pounder at McDonald’s ranges from $25 to $29.
Reddit users commented on their experiences at the world’s most expensive airport.
“The terminal is simply amazing and magnificent; however, the prices unfortunately made the experience a bit worse,” said one. “They know people will pay,” added another.
