Sometimes, I'll grab Subway in a pinch because it fills the stomach and is better than onboard offerings, but that is a last resort (Subway isn't all that great over here).
Yes I almost agree 100% except om KRR - we do not have them here in Oz so really have never become a fan.
Subway I find is quite OK - Maccas / BK much same world over - but still it is better to eat before boarding as you know what you will be getting - or carry-on as you say - especially if in coach.
Please ALL readers do not think this is a racist comment - I believe this is fact - the Chinese will basically eat anything that is put in front of them - whilst I will turn my nose up at what is dished up to me in coach on a Chinese domestic flight the Chinese bods all around me will be hoeing into it like it is their last supper - so again my advice is eat before boarding.
If you want a really nice EXPENSIVE surprise at PEK T3 - go grab one scoop of Haagen Dazs ice cream to just after check in - RMB49 I think for 1 scoop - OMG prices in Chinese airports are rediculous.
