Hello everyone, it’s Gavin again, and this time, I’m sharing
an unexpected culinary adventure during a layover at Bahrain International
Airport. Layovers can be tiring, but they become a highlight of any journey
when seasoned with a dash of unexpected gastronomy. Learn How
to Use Food Vouchers During Layovers
A Tasty Transit
My travel itinerary was packed: Mumbai to Bahrain and then
onwards. After a long flight, I was exhausted and hungry. As I stepped off the
plane, I remembered the food voucher I received from the airline due to a
delay. This little piece of paper turned my layover into a delightful culinary
experience.
What Are Food Vouchers?
Food vouchers are coupons given by airlines to passengers
when flights are delayed or during long layovers. These vouchers can be used at
various restaurants and cafes within the airport. They are a great way to try
different foods without spending extra money.
Finding Where to Use Your Voucher
First, check the details on your voucher. It will usually
list the restaurants and cafes where it can be redeemed. At Bahrain
International Airport, the options were plenty. I decided to explore before
making my choice.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Food Vouchers
- Check
the Validity: Look at the date and time on the voucher to ensure it’s
still valid. Most vouchers are valid for the duration of your layover.
- Explore
Your Options: Walk around the airport to see which restaurants accept
the voucher. Bahrain International Airport has a variety of dining
options, from fast food to gourmet.
- Decide
on a Meal: Choose what you feel like eating. Whether it's a quick
snack or a full meal, there's something for everyone.
- Order
and Pay with the Voucher: When you’ve decided, order your food and
present the voucher at the counter. The staff will deduct the amount from
your total bill.
- Enjoy
Your Meal: Find a comfortable spot, relax, and enjoy your meal. It’s a
great way to pass the time during a layover.
My Culinary Adventure
During my layover, I used my food voucher at a charming café
called Café Lilou. The aroma of freshly baked pastries drew me in. I ordered a
delicious chicken sandwich and a cappuccino. The voucher covered the entire
cost, and the meal was excellent. It was a refreshing break from the usual
airport hustle.

New Foods: They provide an opportunity to try different cuisines and
dishes.

Tips for Using Food Vouchers

ask at the airport information desk. They can guide you to the
participating restaurants.
- Check
for Restrictions: Some vouchers have restrictions on what you can buy.
Make sure to read the fine print.
- Plan
Ahead: If you have a long layover, plan your meal times. Using your
voucher strategically can help you stay energized for the rest of your
journey.

Using food vouchers during layovers can turn a dull wait
into an enjoyable experience. My layover at Bahrain International Airport was
