New McDonalds at Geneva Airport

Probably more important for those workers stuck in the mountains all season who need their fast food fix every now and again… (like the transfer drivers who requested Chambery Airport trips when the KFC opened!).

Located in the food court upstairs before security (replacing the Burger King and having a complete refurb) the new McDonalds is not cheap – reckon on around £10.50 at the moment for a medium Big Mac Meal compared to around £4.50 in the UK.

When the Swiss stopped pegging their currency to the US dollar a few years ago and the rates were almost 1 for 1 against the Euro I remember paying nearly £28 for 2 Whopper Meals…. It can be an expensive place – even with “real” non EC Duty Free it’s only tobacco products that are just about worth getting and they’ll be cheaper at the other end anyway usually.

At least it’s Pokemon friendly…

Thanks to Ralph at Freeride Republic Chalet Holidays for the heads up on this one.
