Lanzarote airport caught myself and my girlfriend by surprise.
We waited until Duty free to buy booze to bring home and were a bit stunned to find it at 2/3 times the normal price for the island.
I was thinking litre bottle of spanish rum. Instead I could barely afford a bottle of water.
Dublin Airport (of all places) was strangely reasonable this summer.
They had 2 litre bottles for 20 euro, and 1 litre volvic for 1.50 (or maybe 2.00).
The cafeteria food is still:
a) overpriced
b)cold
c)poorly served with condiments
and
d)crap
mind.
Water 500 mls €3.50
Plastic Sandwich €6.95
Walkers Crisps (Small bag) €2.20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twix Bar (58 g) €2.50….
Plastic hamburger €14.50 – for JUST the hamburger in a bun.
we decided to starve rather than pay these prices.
I feel terrible for you all, i was waiting in palma airport in majorca and went to buy coffee and caca milis for my daughter and me. the counterhand mistook me for spanish when i said ola. 2 coffees and 2 cakes cost me 5 euros. my friend who clearly looks irish paid 12.95 euros for same order for herself and her daughter. my 500mls of water was very expensive at 1euro even.

I spent 7 months working in Brussels last year and flew home regularly through Brussels airport and, to a lesser degree, Charleroi.
Both airports are extremely overpriced, and a 500 ml bottle of water cost over €3 in Brussels Airport.

I can beat all of the above; €5 for a coffee in Zakynthos airport.
