"5 pound for a can of monster in Manchester airport last week . Mate do not get me started on airport prices! Nothing pisses me off more than being gouged when your a captive audience😡" I agree, it certainly pays to plan ahead. Most if not all airports have a free water fountain just through security, I always take an empty drinks bottle with me and fill up. | |||
