Layover Lunch Delivered Right to Your Gate Now at MSP and JFK

October 13, 2011 at 9:43 AM | by | Comment (1)

Earlier this year we were dreaming of gate-side pizza delivery, and a few months later our dream has now become a reality. HMSHost—owner of fine airport concessions everywhere—recently launched the B4YOUBOARD app for both iPhone and Android users. What this means is that you can order food from your phone, and that someone will actually deliver it right over to you while you’re comfortably seated at the gate, tapping away on your iPad.

The service was made available first within Terminal 3 at New York-JFK, but the most recent roll-out has arrived at the Lindbergh Terminal of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Participating restaurants include Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery, Chili’s Too, and—one of our favorites—French Meadow Bakery & Café. Obviously we’d love a little latte delivery from Starbucks, but for now we’ve got to say this seems pretty darn nifty. Best of all, you can mix and match, so get you fries from Chili’s and your sandwich from French Meadow.

Those stuck in the airport are welcome to order breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as the service is available from 7am until 8pm. The goal is to have your food to you in 20 minutes or less, and there’s no fee or surcharge for utilizing the service; however, tips are optional—but we think should be encouraged. They’ll even offer refunds or discounts for orders that take too long or for planes that leave too early.

Overall we’re glad to see this as an option, and we’ll definitely take advantage of it next time we’re headed through and airport where it’s available just to check it out for ourselves. Although honestly we’d probably feel a little bit lazy if we started to use it on a regularly basis. Up next for the program is Chicago-O’Hare, and if they start delivery some of those Rick Bayless tortas we might be come addicted to B4YOUBOARD.
