dont buy any drinks food

8.00 yes £ 8.00 for two cans of bitter lemon... rrrrrrrr ya got to laugh no credit crunch there then.. but im not bitter... didnt taste like a copy tho...

Like wise,

I thought i'd get the kids a burger and fries to get rid of some lira.

£13.00 for a meal

needless to say I made sure they enjoyed every bit

Was flying out from Dalaman two years ago and paid nearly £7 for pint of beer and that was getting 250 ytl exchange,scarey to think what they are charging now,think i will be saving my thirst until i arrive in Icmeler when im back 2nd Oct this year.

Blimey Ozzy.....you must have read the extortionate rate here on the forum before you went out!

I had turkish bread made up with salad, cheese and meat in June to take to Dalaman airport with us, and frozen bottles of water. No way will I part with hard earned money for a McD at £20!

My brother-in-law paid £5.00 for 1 bananna and an apple 2 years ago.

ah yes ozzy...................but you should have known..............all imported drinks are dearer..........lol.............the wife drinks dry martini......nowt else............the price we paid when we were over last week per drink was enough for the bottle to be flown out first class, in its own seat, by british airways to istanbul then it must have hopped into a taxi to iclemer.......lol

Got back from Spain a couple of days ago and it seems like other airports are jumping on the bandwagon bought 2 small bottles of pepsi £3.50 each the girls in front got 2 small cheese on what could only be called the bottom half of a baguette toasted and 2 cans of pop £18 just a joke.

Our Daughter has booked us into the vip lounge for our departure from Edinburgh,unlimited drinks and snacks! happy days going to kick the arse out of that one.

Keith, I wouldnt bank on having such a great time in the VIP lounge, see the following thread, especially the comment from sunluvr.

Mary & Phil checked the link thanks,but would,nt dream paying for vip lounge in Dalaman,its Edinburgh vip lounge we are in and our Daughter works in tourism so any complains we had would be taken seriously not that i anticipate there will be any,although they may complain about us kicking the arse out of it lol .....Happy Days

I mis-read your message Keith, I was thinking it was Dalaman airport VIP lounge

We paid £8 for 2 coffees at Dalaman Airport, and it didn't even taste like coffee, paper cups too. Never again!

Most UK banks are now opening branches in Dalaman Airport offering mortgages to anyone who fancies a bite to eat.

i knew a drug smuggler who had £20,000 in his hand luggage and when questioned by Turkish Authorities his explnationtion was he fancied a burger and chips at the Airport,he was charged and convicted under the likelyhood that you could not get these with such a small amount of money

That's about right too! ^^

22ytl for 2 manky bits of chicken, a carton of soggy fries and a coke. We ate every bit though, bones and all!

I was there three weeks ago. £8.00 for two coffees and a small bottle of water. Disgraceful!! I travel alot and Dalaman is without doubt one of the most expensive airports in the world. How they can really justify the prices god knows. A Litre of water on the beach area of Icmeler is about 1.5 YTL. 22YTL for a Big Mac Meal that's £11.00 3 times the price in a London Macdonalds. My guess is it is to pay for the new terminal building.

VIP lounge was not value for money either. Manky food that has been sitting around for ages, infact all the food looked like it had been sitting there for ages. Only good for the soft drinks, but how many of them can you drink considering your about to go on a 4.15 hour flight you'd be peeing for england and turkey put together . The seats weren't even comfy.

20 ytl for 2 Bottles Efes that was last night we had to have a final one, before we let our livers recover

Got to admit Dalaman airport is absolutely scandalous regards food and drink .When you hear that a wage can be £20 a week for lots of full time workers its like being charged £200 for a couple of burgers and coffees at Manchester airport .

We flew back on Fri the place was empty at first but soon people where comming in and they went straight for Mac Donanald my daughter refused to pay 22Lira for a burger.
