Yip, you got that in one dead right. Duty free, but only the retailer benefits. Over the years I have price checked my favourite tipple (Speyside single malts) at Glasgow Airport retail park. Without variation I noted that the ""duty free" prices are no cheaper, and in many cases significantly more expensive than at high street outlets. No prize for guessing who's taking the p*ss then?
