Footlongs at GEG when everything else is closed early
Subway at Spokane International Airport keeps odd hours compared with big-city hubs, and closing times move around, so check the airport boards if you’re landing after 7 p.m. It’s one of the few branded chains in the terminals, and the menu tracks the national lineup: footlongs, 6-inch subs, salads, and cookies. Prices run higher than downtown Spokane; plan around $10–$14 for a basic footlong plus a drink.
You’ll find this Subway past security in the main concourse that feeds the A, B, and C gates, so you don’t need to exit and re-clear TSA for a quick sandwich. Expect the usual bread choices, from Italian to wheat, plus the standard cold cuts and veggies. It’s counter-service only, with limited seating nearby; most people grab a bag and walk it to their gate area.
Order the standard builds that Subway does reliably: turkey or ham on Italian with cheese, loaded with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a line of Subway vinaigrette. Cookies usually sit by the register and often run around $1 each, so they’re an easy add if you’re building a meal for the flight. Fountain drinks come in multiple sizes, and refills are typically allowed while you stay near the counter before boarding.
Because this is an airport location with a stripped-down line, some of the more promotional subs you see on TV ads may not be available at GEG. Keep it simple: pick a bread, pick a protein, pile on veggies. If you’re tight on time, pre-decide your toppings before you reach the glass; the line can stall badly when a few people build subs ingredient-by-ingredient at the last minute.
Practical play: if your connection at GEG is under 40 minutes, skip the backtracking and hit Subway only if your gate sits directly along your path from security; otherwise, grab a quick snack at the newsstand near your exact gate instead.
