I once paid like 20 bucks for a Jersey Mikes sub at the Vegas airport. Now that's just what it seems to cost. Honestly, the only way to do it is just buy the sandwich, if you add on Chips and Drink they are just robbing you. Cost them like 30 cents, charge you 4 bucks.

Airports make money on the fees they charge vendors. They've all started waking up and realizing that they can get people to spend more money if their food and shopping is decent instead of just shitty fast food and convenience stores.
To one of your questions, yes, airport lounges are a good value if you travel a lot. However, overcrowding has become the norm lately, so they're not the quiet escape they once were. |

Had lunch at the Baltimore airport about and hour and a half ago and breakfast at KCI this morning. Is it overpriced? Sure, but I don’t think it’s egregious. $20 for a good sized omelette, potatoes, and a soda. $25 for a decent, but certainly not great, bacon and blue burger with fries and a soda. Feels like fairly standard bar pricing though the quality isn’t quite there.
That said, I did notice that they had Blanton’s on their shelf and I know how overpriced it is in a normal bar setting, so I had to ask their pricing. $54 for a standard neat pour. Now that is absurd. |

Air travel is like going to a sporting event where I'm always blown away by the "need" to consume by people
Its typically 3-5 hours of your life and you can't go without paying 100x more than market price for food and drink Its a phenomenon for sure Get off my lawn rant: If you're going to do it though, keep it the terminal. People who nibble on some dank smelling Korean bibimbap in the terminal just to bust the rest of it out while sitting elbow to elbow on the flight deserve a special place in hell |

I'll sometimes kick off a vacation with an airport beer, but I think the past few times I've eaten at one was a 3 hour layover, a 4+ hour delay, and the novelty of eating beyond security at the new KCI. I don't usually show up at the airport on an empty stomach. |

The last thing I want to do before flying is eat. I dread having to blast a shit on an airplane toilet.
