Footlongs made your way in IND’s Main Terminal
Subway in Indianapolis International’s Main Terminal covers the build-your-own sandwich niche for under $10. It’s the familiar counter setup: pick a 6-inch or footlong, choose your bread, meat, cheese, and vegetables, then add sauces. For a quick baseline, a basic 6-inch turkey usually lands around the $6–7 mark, and you can walk out with a simple meal and drink for under $15.
This location sits post-security in the Main concourse, so it’s usable for all IND departures. Hours trend toward early-morning through evening, roughly matching the main flight banks, but expect shorter hours on late-night schedules. If you’re catching a first bank departure around 6:00 a.m., you’ll typically find it already open with breakfast-style options and standard cold cuts ready to go.
Ordering works like every other Subway: line forms at the glass, you choose bread (Italian, wheat, and whatever specialty is still in stock), then move down the line for vegetables and sauces. Reviews call it “quick and no surprises,” which sums up the draw here. Footlong combos with chips and a fountain drink tend to hit the $12–$15 range, still on the low end of IND food prices.
Watch out for late-afternoon rush times, especially around the 4:00–6:00 p.m. departure bank, when one review notes certain breads running out and staff falling back to whatever’s left. If you care about a specific bread type more than the filling, plan to hit it before mid-afternoon. Lines move steadily, but a 10–15 minute wait at peak isn’t unusual.
Tip: if you’re time-crunched at the gate, order something cold like a turkey or veggie footlong, skip toasted, and you can be in and out in under 5 minutes and eat on board without making a mess.
