Tips for Eating at CLT

  • Eat before security if possible — pre-security options are often cheaper with more variety.
  • Bring your own food. Solid food is allowed through TSA security. Pack sandwiches, snacks, and fruit to save $15–30.
  • Bring an empty water bottle to fill at fountains past security — airport water costs $4–6.
  • Use mobile ordering where available to skip lines during busy periods.
  • Airport lounges include free food — if you have access, eat there instead. See our CLT lounge guide.
