Duty free favourites including gin and Toblerone are cheaper at supermarket and online than at airport, says watchdog
A giant Toblerone costs £4 at Bristol World Duty Free — but just £3 at Asda
AIRPORT “bargains” such as gin and Toblerone are likely to be cheaper at a supermarket, a consumer group has found.
A 360g bar of Toblerone cost £4 at Bristol World Duty Free but £3 at Asda, while an £18 70cl bottle of Tanqueray gin at Heathrow could be found for £15 at Morrisons, Which? Travel said.
A 100ml bottle of Eternity for Men Eau de Toilette is £25 on Amazon but £46 at Birmingham World Duty Free.
A SanDisk Extreme Plus 64GB camera memory card costs £73 more at Glasgow International than at Currys online.
And a Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon cost £20 less at Toys R Us online than at Gatwick South World Duty Free.
Which? checked prices from March 10 to 13, including online delivery costs.
Some deals could be found at airport shops, like the iPad Mini 2 and the Fitbit Flex 2 both for £10 less at Dixons Travel at Glasgow International Airport than online at John Lewis.
But it said: “Always do your research before you head to the airport to make sure the ‘deal’ is not dearer than on the high street or online.”
