Everyone knows that most items found in airports cost a little extra - with phone chargers, gifts and food among products that are often marked up when compared to general retail value.
Many choose to keep their purses and wallets stowed away until they reach their destination to avoid overspending before their holiday has even began, but some have no choice and must fork out hard earned cash to prevent them from going hungry on the long-haul.
One man who required fuelling for his travels at Dublin airport was left completely speechless by the 'criminal' price he paid in exchange for a basic breakfast - The Mirror reports.

Journalist Kevin Doyle took to Twitter to show his followers the meal at the airport which can be reached directly from Newcastle International via Ryanair - which set him back a total of €18.65 (£15.64), reports Cork Beo.
The breakfast consisted of four slices of toast, two sausages, two cups of tea or coffee, and a bottle of water.
Sharing a picture of the dish, he said: "Dublin Airport has sorted out the security queues - but breakfast is another story. No bacon, no pastries… and €18.65 for this gourmet selection."
Kevin's post racked up more than 4,600 likes and dozens of comments from people who were keen to share their thoughts on the price of the breakfast, with many saying it was "criminally" high.
One person said: "That's criminal, Jesus wept."
Another said: "I wouldn't pay it. The worst airport I have ever been in and I have been in some bad ones believe you me."
"Why didn't you throw it back at them?" asked a third user, while someone else said: "Firstly the prices should be visible before you go in and secondly if you were not aware of the prices why didn't you just say no!
"I am not paying that price. Really annoying when people pay stupid prices for goods and services and they give out about it."
A few others shared how he could keep the cost down at the airport.
One person suggested: "Why didn't you just tell them keep it, you get 4 or 5 sausages in a deli for €2, so you could have gotten close to 18 sausages for the price".
While another put: "That's why we bring our own sandwiches when travelling! Learned this rip of message long ago between the airport and airlines, plus they're a lot tastier."
