机场免税店的商品比网店更贵

Drinks, perfume and designer goods can be more expensive in airport duty free shops than online, price comparisons show. 

 

价格比较显示，机场免税店销售的饮品、香水和名牌商品会比网店更贵。

 

Shops in airport terminals trumpet¹ the 'savings²' available to those flying overseas, with shoppers often assuming the products will be cheaper.

 

But a look at a range of products on offer in the departure lounge stores shows many are available cheaper elsewhere. 

 

Perfumes are among the products with the highest difference in price, with a number of brands cheaper online than at the airport. 

 

A 100ml bottle of Burberry Touch for example is £24.75 at Fragrance³ Direct, half the £42.80 for which it is sold at airports by World Duty Free. 

 

Meanwhile, a 90ml bottle of Versace Bright Crystal is £38.99 online as opposed to £54.85 in duty free stores. 

 

Alcohol can also be cheaper in supermarkets. Tesco is currently charged £13 for a 1-litre bottle of Malibu, more than £3 less than it is at World Duty Free. 

 

Fashion accessories are also less expensive online, with a pair of Bvlgari BV8144B sunglasses £207 in duty free, but £174 at sunglasshut.com.
