The cost of food purchased at airports is on the rise with shops charging up to 48 per cent more for snacks and drinks at airports and railway stations compared to high street stores
The price of food at airports is skyrocketing, with retailers charging up to 48 per cent more for snacks and beverages at airports and train stations than on the high street, according to fresh research by The Mirror. Many airlines, including British Airways , which scrapped its complimentary onboard dining on short-haul routes in favour of a paid menu, also charge passengers for meals during flights.
While some airports across the UK are introducing changes, liquid rules remain in place at many flight hubs both domestically and internationally, reports the Express.At the time of writing, the UK Government website states: "If you do take liquids in your hand luggage containers must hold no more than 100ml.
Despite being more of a paste than a liquid, this Middle Eastern dip made from chickpeas and tahini can still be confiscated from travellers at security. Other dips such as guacamole or salsa are also bound by the same rules. "Solid foods generally pass through security without issues, but any food that can be spread, squirted, or poured may be confiscated if it exceeds the allowed liquid limits. Food items can also trigger additional screening if they appear suspicious on the X-ray."
