The Luxury Travel Bible spends a lot of time passing through airports onto another destination. But no longer are airports just a means to an end, we are finding that we are starting to arrive a little bit earlier than we need to because airports are becoming an integral part of the holiday itself. Award winning spas, lounges, world-class shopping and gourmet dining are now an expectation of luxury travellers at airports around the globe. Here, TLTB looks at our favourite Airport Restaurants that we have experienced on our travels - including some of our editors and luxury insiders' personal favourite dishes. (hey, 'We've done the research, so you don't have to!)
