Eli5: Airport restaurants

419 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!

Other answers already mention that people who don’t travel sometimes want to eat, too.

But also: The restaurant *before* security on your way *in* is also the restaurant *after* baggage pick-up (and immigration and all other shenanigans) on your way *out*.

As a frequent flyer there have been many situations when I arrived hungry late at night and stopped for takeout before leaving the airport.
