Footlongs and salads before security at KHH
Subway at Kaohsiung International Airport sits landside, before security for terminals D and I, so this works best if you build in an extra 10–15 minutes before heading to screening. It’s the familiar counter setup with made-to-order sandwiches, salads, and basic sides, handy if you want something predictable rather than gambling on a random in-flight meal.
A standard 6-inch sandwich here usually runs in the NT$90–130 range depending on fillings, with footlongs roughly double that and combo upgrades adding around NT$40–60 for a drink and chips. Expect the usual global favorites: Tuna, Subway Club, and a couple of local-leaning options that rotate. Portions match downtown Taiwan outlets more than US sizing, so order a footlong if you’re actually hungry.
You pick bread style, cheese, and vegetables at the counter, then choose from bottled drinks and fountain soft drinks in the same line. This is one of the few airport spots where you can load up on raw veggies—lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion—before a long-haul out of KHH. To keep it efficient, have your toppings in mind when you hit the glass.
There’s basic counter seating and a few small tables directly opposite the ordering line, so you can eat, repack, and then walk to security in under 5 minutes. It’s not a linger-and-work setup; power outlets are scarce and the noise from departures announcements is constant.
Tip: if you’re flying out of terminal I in the early morning bank (around 06:00–08:00), grab your sandwich here to-go and clear security right after; airside food options shrink quickly once you pass into the international zone.
