Concourse B footlongs that actually travel well on the plane
This Subway sits post-security in Terminal B at El Paso International (ELP), handy if you’re flying American or United out of the B gates. It’s a standard corporate Subway setup: build-your-own sandwiches on the familiar breads with the usual meats, cheeses, and veggies. Prices run airport-high for the brand but still in the $ range compared with the sit-down spots elsewhere in ELP.
Hours track typical bank times for the B concourse, opening for morning departures and running into the evening for the last outbound flights; double-check if you’re on a very late arrival after 9 pm, as several reviewers found the line closing early. Because it’s after security in Terminal B, you can grab a sub right before boarding and skip relying on pretzels during a 3-hour leg.
Ordering is the usual routine: pick a 6-inch or footlong, choose your bread, then walk the line for toppings. One Google reviewer called out grabbing a footlong here before boarding specifically to avoid buying extra snacks on the plane. Another pointed out it’s “nothing special, but it works if you want veggies instead of burgers,” which sums it up well for ELP’s mostly fried and burger-heavy options.
Watch out after about 7–8 pm: multiple comments mention the vegetables and some proteins looking picked over later in the evening. That’s when you start seeing limp lettuce and near-empty pans. Also expect the standard airport markup compared with a city Subway, so that $5 memory from years ago turns into closer to $9–$12 for a loaded footlong and a drink.
Regulars here ask the staff to double-wrap their sandwiches so they survive a 2–3 hour flight without soaking the paper. If you’re connecting or know you’ll eat later, get sauces on the side and skip extra tomatoes so the bread holds up until cruising altitude.
