There’s no more captive consumer than a traveller caught between airport security and the departure gate, which is why Food & Wine’s 2024 roundup of the world’s best airports for food and drink got our mouths watering.
It’s no surprise that Singapore’s renowned Changi Airport has been declared.
No. 1. As well as boasting the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, it has more than 200 food vendors from which to choose, as well as a hawker street market, robot bartenders and an outpost of Raffles where you can drink a signature Singapore Sling.
At No. 2 is Tokyo-Narita International Airport, where guests can delight in Japan’s culinary traditions.
And at No. 3, the luxury environs of Dubai International Airport offer treats such as a pastry shop specializing in eclairs, as well as all the trusty international restaurant chains you’ll want to remind you of home.
