Everyone who’s traveled commercial lately knows the drill: Most flights, even long ones, don’t serve meals, so once you get to the airport you wolf down whatever’s available. Doughy sandwiches, salty packaged carbs and limp french fries are invariably your best options.
At least they used to be. Since fall, three airports in Spain have let you dine on playful creations from chef Dabiz Muñoz, the culinary wizard behind the three-Michelin-star restaurant DiverXO. His futuristic, fantastical Madrid dining room—where a multicourse meal costs €450 ($464)—ranks No. 4 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list.
