Are there any genuine Duty Free Bargain Airports out there?
I flew from Gatwick and recon apart from ciggies and some drinks everything else is priced more then in the high street and certainly I can buy electronics (cameras, MP3 players, portable DVD players, laptops, etc) cheaper from the net.
We also stopped at Bharain and that was even worse, everything was well oevr priced.
I hear singapore is good, any ideas? Some people say you can get laptops like half the price you pay here which considering the saving could pay for the holiday too!!

BUT, you have to be seriously careful about what you buy, not all of it will work over here and take the right DVD's for example.
As for booze and cigs, most flights outside of the EU will offer decent deals.
Heathrow does a good 2 x litre bottles for £20, especially when you buy Absolute or Bombay Gin because they are close to double that in the shops.
There is no duty free inside the EU.
Where were you going to and from to get this tax free offer?
Bharain - Coke, and other soft drinks and chocolates like Mars, Snickers, etc
Toronto - Clinic Clarifying Lotion - about half the UK price I think!!!
Kenya - World Space Radios
Goa - Brandy was way cheap!!
