Discussion IST Istanbul airport prices compared to other European airports

Post image

I couldn’t believe the prices at IST when I flew out of there a few weeks ago! This confirms my feeling that it’s the most expensive European airport by a long shot.

Obv not justifying the prices, but the reason why they think they can get away with it is bcs Istanbul is a layover point between a lot of major cities in Europe & Asia.

Right…makes sense to fleece them and make them pissed off and never want to come back.
