Subway

Footlongs in T1 before your Antalya departure

Gate-side in Terminal T1, Subway is the predictable stop when you just want something recognisable before boarding. It sits airside after security, so you can grab a sandwich without backtracking through the main check-in hall. Signage in T1 points clearly to fast food near several Schengen and non-Schengen gates, and Subway is part of that cluster.

Subs follow the usual global format: 15 cm or 30 cm options, with standard fillings like turkey, chicken, tuna, and veggie, plus salads if you skip the bread. Prices run higher than downtown Antalya; expect to pay airport markup on a basic 15 cm sandwich and more once you add cookies and a drink. Portions match other Subway locations, so a 30 cm sub is plenty for a medium-haul flight out of AYT.

Service runs in line with typical T1 operating hours, often from early morning departures through late-night charter flights. You order at the counter, pick bread, filling, and toppings, then pay at the end. Seating nearby is shared with other fast-food spots in T1, so you may need to hover for a table during peak midday bank of flights.

Subs hold up decently on board, especially simpler builds like turkey with cheese and minimal sauce, which travel better in a carry-on for 3–4 hours. If your flight departs late from T1 and most cafés are shutting by 22:00, this is usually one of the last places still serving hot items. Drinks include fountain sodas and bottled water in standard 0.5 L sizes.

Practical tip: lines spike about 60–90 minutes before large T1 departures, so order your Subway on the way to the gate, not when boarding starts at T1’s bus gates.
