QUOTE(twins9 @ Jun 6 2014, 09:35 AM) If you cant afford to eat at the airport, then you cant afford to go abroad. I checked all airports I visited, all of them have prices higher than downtown or normal malls. I still remember I eat burger king at shanghai pudong airport....1 set of BK whooper triple deck (pork) cost me about RMB 50+....which I upgrade my drink to carlsberg beer (the tall tin 1) And...the prices charged at KLIA\KLIA2 are similar to most other places I visit. Once out of Malaysia, be prepared to pay in USD. Easy example. A bowl of noodles in KLIA2 with drink is about RM15, that is say USD5. If you go to Busan, airport food there starts from USD6-10. In Japan, a simple bowl of rice n eggs/chicken with green tea is USD7. In Cambodia, the coffee is USD3 per cup. In Thailand, Don Muang has a buffet which is cheap... RM20 or less per pax, but their other cafes also charge similar to our KLIA. I dont remember about Indonesia. I remember MACAU was so expensive. USD15-20 a bowl of noodles that I starved and wait for AA nasi lemak on board. RM15 seems a steal.   This post has been edited by titanz: Jun 6 2014, 02:30 PM |

Itt people dont know about profit maximisation.
Protip: sellers set as high a price as they can so long as the product moves |

two reason
first the tourist enter our country dont know the price of our food and they pay what ever they been charged,,, second the tourist who leaves the country spend all the local currencies b4 they board the flight, so they dont calculate on cheap or costly at airport.. |

I find that burger king, McD, KFC prices are similar or slightly higher, just no sets. Never tried kopitiam.
Waiting for premium lounge to open outside. The premium lounge in KLIAII after immigration only at L - so, those going to K, P, Q, no food. |

When people are already in the airport , they have no where to eat except in the airport itself and most people don't really look at the prices when it comes to eating there. To them it's alright afterall, it is not very often that they are going to the airport. The owners of restaurants there are fully aware of this and take advantage to maximize their profits.
Ask ourselves if we go to the airport say once every few months or even once a month, most of us don't really care about the prices of the food sold there. |
