Duty Free, what Duty Free ? The real flyers turn right after security and waltz through the secret door at LHR T5.
I realise that to service the monstrous loans used to purchase airports by investors they are keen to monetize every possible moment that passengers are on the ground, but to leave passengers with no option but to be exposed to the festival of consumerism is just plain wrong imho
Indeed that is the problem.... expensive to build, maintain and operate airports, increasing number of airport operators are listed on the world's stock exchanges.... leading to a desire to bring swift and large satisfaction to investors.
I hate it, I never use Duty Free, there is no place for it in the 21st century.... better deals are always available through ecommerce on the internet.
