Eli5: Airport restaurants

415 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!

They generally don’t have restaurants before security. The vast majority of restaurants are after security so passengers can eat while waiting for their flight, or between flights during a longer layover.

Thinking back on the last several airports I’ve been to, I can’t recall any that had food outside security, but every one of them had at least a small food place inside the security zone.
