Yep, I paid 15tl for a cup of machine coffee at the Lavazza coffee outlet, but I got a free cookie!

Haven't bought anything from that airport in years, I go there prepared with drink and sandwiches if necessary, or the other way.  Prepared to get out of there quick!!

Is the old CBF Boycott Campaign of many years ago still in place, more in spirit perhaps than form??  If not perhaps we should restart it.

[Highlander]

It may be hard to believe, but this tight-fisted Scotsman paid 9tl for an Iced Tea and went completely overboard by buy one for the present Mrs H

You want to sit down H.  Even the memory of such an event is bound to cause problems of both a medical or non medical kind. : :

Hell mend anyone who is silly enough to buy ANYTHING from Dalaman Airport outlets,    or maybe those persons just have far too much money !! As long as people are prepared to pay those prices, they will NEVER go down !! 

[Scunner]

How true, extortionate it may be, but always a steady stream of customers willing to pay.

More than a steady stream i'd say as well. I can't believe how busy these places get. They are making a mint. We try to go and have a decent meal before the trip to the airport.

Problem is...Lambs to the slaughter, because they seem to catch out all the first timers.
We use the CIP  lounge because we get it with our Bank Account, however no alcohol, but, salad and cold meat buffet, sandwiches, cakes, soft drinks and hot drinks.  Comfy seats WIFI and T.V. handy if you have a long wait.

Isn't this a problem at all airports?
Before we went to Turkey we had a coffee, a hot chocolat and 2 slices of cake at Starbucks Schiphol (Amsterdam). Set me back 19 euro and that's just a few kurus short of 55 TL.
