Some duty-free now available to the USA

Created on 31st of August 2006

Passengers travelling to the USA may now purchase duty-free alcohol and perfume in airside shops to take on board their flight, but only on the condition that the goods must be delivered to the aircraft gate by the shop operator.

Passengers on US flights may not carry any such purchases away from the shops themselves. However, this gate delivery service is only available at some airside shops; it is not universally available at present.
