Greetings Sunny jet-setter friends! This is the time of year when we start our international summer trips. So, you’re probably wondering, is Heathrow airport duty free worth it? To help you with this question, I went on a duty free adventure at Heathrow on my way to the US last week.
Aug 22, 2018 - Download our new electronics catalogue. Duty Free on Board is an online duty free shop which offers to choose from the wide collection of duty.
This is what I found. Heathrow Airport Duty Free- Should You Buy Jack? No, I mean, really buy Jack When it comes to a few popular adult beverage options, this is how it goes First I checked out a bottle of Jack Daniels Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey.
Heathrow Airport = £24.99 (on offer for a £9.13 savings) This is around $42. At a US airport you can get.75 litres more for $41.00. At it is $24.99 for 750ml, excluding shipping.
Next, I compared a bottle of Moet & Chandon Rose Imperial, 75cl. Heathrow Airport = £32.99 (advertised as a £15.91 savings). This is around $55. US Duty Free = $79 If you like champagne like me, you’ll probably want a few bottles. So I also compared the Veuve Clicquot Non-Vintage Rose, 75cl. Heathrow Airport = £32.99 This is around $55. US Duty free is = $79 Heathrow Airport Duty Free- Adding Up the Scents Another popular Duty Free purchase is perfume and cologne.
So, here’s a few labels for you to see. Prada Candy Natural Spray, 50 ml. Heathrow Airport = £45.40. This is around $76. The bigger size of 80ml was £60.60 (an advertised sale price of £15.15 less). And this equals around $101.
US Duty Free 80ml = $93 A classic scent you may want to get your international hands on is Chanel No 5 Eau de Parfum Spray (100ml). Heathrow Airport = £76.60. (Advertised as a £19.20 savings). This is around $128. US Duty Free = $124 = £117 ($185) Thierry Mugler’s Alien Eau de Parfum (60ml) Heathrow = £43.25. This is around $72.
To smell like a legal ‘Alien’ in the US duty free shop, you’d spend $99. And if you want to smell like an Alabama tart, you can pick up ‘Fantasy Twist’ a la Britney Spears. Heathrow Airport = £33.65 for 100ml. This is around $56. US Duty Free = Not found Sephora.com = Not found. Heathrow Airport Duty Free- Smoke if you got ‘em Heathrow = £90.00 for 3 cartons of Marlboro Gold.
This is around $151. US Duty Free = $37 for 1 carton of Marlboro.
Three cartons would be $111. At a Sheetz petrol station in Pennsylvania = $61.08. Three cartons would be $183.24! The ginormous ‘Smoking Kills’ warning on every pack of smokes in the UK PRICELESS! Heathrow Airport Duty Free- Money Bags For kicks, I checked out my fav affordable bag designer, MichaelKors.com at Heathrow Airport. This tote bag is £200.00. This is around $336.

This handbag is £941.65. This is around $1,584. Again, this duty free shop indicates it’s over £180 cheaper than Knightsbridge. Duty Free Items- Last attempts for Souvenirs/Gifts: There are also the items that are extremely difficult to get in your destination.
This means duty free could be your last chance to grab those country’s treasures and prices might not matter too much Sunny friends, what do you think? Does this change your outlook on Duty Free? Will you leave earlier for the airport the next time you have an international flight to save a few dinero at Duty Free?.US Duty Free prices were taken at the Detroit, Michigan Airport (DTW).
