WE'VE all been there.

You're killing time at the airport and decide to grab a bite to eat, only to be left utterly underwhelmed by the tasteless lump of a meal you're given.

It can be almost as hard to find great food while you're waiting for your plane as it is once you're actually in the skies.

But there are some places where you can get a decent feed.

The world's best airports for food and drink have been named by travel "intelligence" company the Moodie Report in its third annual Airport Food & Beverage Awards, which have just been announced in Dubai.
