Man left floored by price of McDonald's meal at popular airport
A man has shared how much it costs to buy a meal at McDonald's in a popular airport and people are gobsmacked at the price. People can't get over how much it is A bloke has left Brits utterly flabbergasted after revealing the eye-watering cost of a McDonald's meal at a well-known airport. Craig took to TikTok to show his followers the hefty price tag of grabbing a bite at Antalya Airport in Turkey, and viewers are absolutely staggered. In his revealing video, he explained that while at Antalya Airport, he was looking at what was on offer at the eatery. But, as he perused the menu, the prices struck him as "mad", prompting him to share the cost of some fan-favourite meals at this location. The footage shows a Big Mac Meal ringing in at a whopping €20,90 – that's about £16. And, if you're hankering for a Big Tasty Classic Meal, be prepared to fork out even more, with a price tag of €21,90. Even a Double Cheeseburger Meal isn't spared, costing an eye-popping €20,50. Since Craig posted the video, it's been viewed thousands of times, leaving customers gobsmacked by the exorbitant prices. The clip has racked up thousands of views, sparking a frenzy of comments from shocked fast- food lovers. One person questioned: "Antalya and Istanbul Airports are the most expensive airports in the world. Tell me the reason why?" Another shared their recent experience: "Literally just got home from Turkey a couple of hours ago, refused to pay at the airport, so now have a McDonald's en route to the house." A third chimed in with disbelief, writing: "Why do people pay those ridiculous prices?" And, yet another commenter echoed the sentiment, saying: "Antalya prices are a massive rip-off." Some commentators noted that prices in Turkey have been on the rise for some time, while others argued that not all areas of Turkey are pricey to visit. Additionally, a few people expressed puzzlement over why tourists opt to pay the steep prices. Why has Turkey become so expensive? According to Statista, there are several factors at play. The website states: "Domestic producer price indices have been continuously rising, which has directly resulted in a price increase in all consumer goods and services. Accordingly, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in all commodity groups increased extremely since 2022. "In the same year, the food and non-alcoholic beverages category had one of the highest inflation rates in the CPI. This particularly affected Turkish consumers, as these products accounted for the highest share of household expenditure in 2023. "Since 2020, food prices have increased significantly around the world, and Turkey is no exception. Although inflation has started to slow down recently, food prices in Turkey continue to go up steadily, increasing by 48.6 percent in November 2024 compared to the same month in the previous year. "It is not surprising that food inflation has not simmered down, as the producer price index (PPI) of agricultural products followed a constant increasing trend in the country over the past few years." However, it's reported that Turkey is making strides to bolster tourism, including tackling rising costs, diversifying tourist attractions and pumping money into infrastructure. The Government is reportedly striving to curb inflation, with some individuals also pushing niche tourism sectors like spas and health care.
