Quite right Mark - after so many years of suffering Dalaman airport it is almost impossible to imagine what it could be if prices were reasonable. Rather than taking sandwiches and a flask, and counting each minute pass slowly on a hard bench seat, how about leaving early for the airport to sit and have a lovely meal and a pint in relaxing circumstances, prior to noting the call to go to the departure gate and ambling off to board the plane.
Sadly not, and I doubt it ever will be.
