The UK airport with the most expensive booze is fleecing travellers for £8 pints – and it is not in London. The airport in question has topped the charts for the priciest tipple holidaymakers can find. While some may assume the likes of Luton or Stansted Airport offer the most expensive option, it’s somewhere in the North that has clinched the dubious title of most expensive pint.
Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport has been tipped by idealo as the place where Brits will spend the most on a pre-flight pint. On average, those who fancy a drink before jetting off on their holiday are paying £7.94 – the highest price in the country for an airport pint.
Pricey pints can be found in other UK airports too. Cardiff Airport, Leeds Bradford Airport, and Newcastle Airport’s pint price sits at an average of £7.89, while East Midlands Airport will cost around £7.82. Despits its reputation for expensive booze, London has just two airports in the country-wide top 10.
Stansted Airport and Heathrow Airport offer the most affordable pint prices at £6.45, closely followed by Edinburgh Airport (£6.55) and Gatwick Airport (£6.60). These are all major hubs, which likely helps keep prices slightly more competitive for travellers.
Idealo suggests that those travelling from regional airports can expect to pay a higher price point for the popular pre-flight refreshment.
