You don't fly a lot? Can't leave an airport without Toblerone.

Originally posted by @drewnogalYep, agreed. We fly a lot. Sometimes I just fancy a small bag of sweets to take to the aircraft. Sometimes not possible: in a lot of airports you either buy gargantuan, pillow-sized bags of m&m's, Haribo, mento's (all horrid) or nothing. I choose nothing.

Originally posted by @trev33We used to be able to buy lots of duty free goods at airports but now certain products like perfume are more expensive than they are in a Boots store. The store assistants then have the cheek to ask for our boarding passes so that they can claim the tax back for the store.

Yes sir, yes they are.
