Dublin Airport, Terminal 1, near gate 204 selling Sandwiches at exorbitant prices.

Been awhile since I saw a sandwich for around the 3 euro mark - even the plastic sandwiches in the likes of Costa are at least a fiver.

As for Dublin airport pricing? Captive audience, simples!

If you want your choice of routes to improve then always give your trade to the Airlines, not the Concessions in the Airport. Once passenger cap is lifted airlines making good profit out of Dublin will offer more routes.

Nothing new, Seinfeld was doing routines about it in the early 90s

Jerry: Do you think that the people at the airport that run the stores have any idea what the prices are every place else in the world? Or do you think they just feel they have their own little country out there and they can charge anything they want? "You hungry? Tuna sandwich is nine dollars. You don't like it? Go back to your own country." I think the whole airport airline complex is a huge scam just to sell the tuna sandwiches. I think that profit is what's supporting the whole air travel industry. I mean think about it. The terminals, the airplanes, it's all just a distraction so that you don't notice the beating that you're taking on the tuna.

Some other trolley in the RA departure area selling filter coffee for the same money as barista coffee.

No idea what the concession costs but that's just a rip off. Everything about Dublin Airport is substandard for top price. T1 is horrible and T2 looks like its already due a refurb. Go to somewhere like Zurich to see an airport designed for people. The price of food etc is high but % wise not marked up as much as in Dublin.

Agree with @elperello. I'm not mean but I just like plain stuff, so a cheese sandwich, a banana and maybe a couple of plain muffins, and I'm good to go. Keep some for the plane. On the way back I'll just bring a bag of scoff consisting of the local cake like delicacy that's easy to eat and some fruit. I wouldn't eat in the airport unless I'm delayed. Extortionate mundane craaap and the sit down places are like a flippin zoo anyway.

Sure once you go through security at any airport, prices are unreal!

Everyone knows that, either be prepared to pay ridiculous prices, or bring your own grub.

overpriced food and drink is normal at airports, captured clientele, bring your own food !

Dublin Airport has both WH Smith and Boots. The meal deal in the former is €7.95. That's pretty good value. Good luck with finding a deal like that in western European airports outside Ireland and the UK.

To be fair to Butlers and Boots, they don't seem to charge any more than in their non-airport locations.

And terminal 1 is still far better than terminal 2. the food and service in terminal 2 is woeful.

Maccer will have special airport prices sure enough

795c is not a meal deal.

Go to Dunnes before you travel.... 399c.

I bring two rounds of sandwiches to the airport, there's no problem getting them through security. I have one while waiting at the departure gate, and the other after I've landed. It's saved me $$$ over the years.

I went through Brussels airport in May last year. Didn't have time to get something local before we went to the airport, so I checked out the food hall when we arrived. For me and the missus and the wee fella, three burger meals consisting of burger, chips drink and a fruit/granola cup thingy would have cost..........€99.90!

Seriously €33.30 for a burger meal each. Think I've a photo somewhere......

Wouldn't buy food in Dublin airport or the majority of airports for that matter. My biggest issue with T1 is the state of the toilets. They are nothing short of disgusting at times.

Butlers charge a little more in Dublin airport. Passed through T1 a few weeks ago and the shop was closed. Looks like they are opening a new shop; a bigger one, across from Starbucks.

Airport in expensive food shocker.

Eason used to own the Books/News/Sweets franchise at Dublin Airport but when it went out to tender again, they were happy to walk away and leave it to WHS - the rent they had to DAA made it completely unviable, but then they never did sandwiches..

Yes, it's up the escalator after the duty free.
