@SteveBrickNJ , just out of curiosity, were there actual restaurants in the airport terminal where you flew out at Dublin Airport? I think they must divide between European flights and ones further out, like to the US or Asia, etc. I figured I'd grab a bite to eat after I got through security and everything. I'm always anxious until I get through security because I'm always worried it's going to take forever and I'm going to miss my flight. So I prefer to get through security and THEN worry about things like food, so if I'm short on time, I can just get to my gate. But first, there was no one at the check-in gate and I had to stand there waiting for over an hour before I could check in and I didn't dare leave in case the line got huge while I was gone and I would miss my flight because it took too long to check in. Finally got checked in, then had to wait for a while to go through security. Got through security and there was NOTHING past that point except convenience stores. There was one little cafe place that had premade sandwiches, but the main thing was coffee, which I don't drink. So I had to settle for a bag of chips and a candy bar from one of the convenience stores because that's all that was available. I'm so used to the long haul trips overseas where there are actual restaurants like the outback, or even a McDonalds near the gates. I didn't realize there wouldn't be anything like that in the terminal. Thank goodness the flight to the Netherlands isn't long. I just warned my husband that I'd need foodage before we got home, so we stopped somewhere after I landed. I was wondering if the other terminal had more options because the flights are longer.
