This is a good thing that all airlines should do. It'll save them money and possibly help the food vendors at the airports survive. FT'rs should start eating at the airports and help support those folks.</font>
I would consider buying food from airport concessionaires if the food prices at some airports weren't so over-inflated. I remember walking away from the Pizza Hut at SEA in 1993 (or 1994) when the price charged for a personal pan pizza was $5.99 excluding taxes. Happily, RNO my home airport then, charged "street" price.

Some of the concessionaires and the airport authorities have to reconsider the royalties/fees charged.
