Lowest cost duty-free for alcohol
« on: July 29, 2012, 04:49:05 PM »
Surprised there is no master thread on this, especially with the amount of young bachurim, (chabad and otherwise :) ) who frequent DDF.

I'll be flying through TLV, AMM, BKK, and HKG on an upcoming trip, and would like to purchase a few bottles of spirits.

Does anyone have any ideas if any particular duty-free would have lower prices than others? Frequent sales?

My experience with the TLV duty-free is that prices aren't any good.

Chime in

Cheapest alcohol is generally in CA.  And not the rip-off duty free.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Seeing as I won't be passing through there on this trip, what's your opinion of BKK?

I've seen some really great deals @ BevMo in LA on all kinds of alchohol, cheaper than duty free.
