Eli5: Airport restaurants

409 views

Explain to me like I’m five: why do airports have restaurants outside of the security checkpoint? I.e., a Burger King right when you enter the airport but before you go through security. I would be too stressed about facing a long security line post-meal!

I’ve been in several situations where I made it to the airport with someone I’m dropping off or I’m there to pick someone up, but there’s still an hour or more till the actual time. I’d very much rather sit inside at a relatively comfortable place with food than in the car waiting. Especially if I’m dropping someone off, having some food with them before they leave, but without actually worrying about catching the plane (because the bags are already checked in and all) is great.

I presume I’m not the only one in this situation, hence the restaurants.
