Duty Free Ryan Air

Tysonator · 27 Mar 2019 at 20:06

Hi,
I am travelling to a non EU via Ryan Air with cabin luggage only, so if I purchase any duty free ( spirits of course ! ) on my out ward bound flight. As I have no hold luggage the Duty Free purchase from the London airport will not make through security of the non EU airport ( for being over 100ml ) !
So my question is can you either purchase duty free and leave at a London airport and collect on my return or can I purchase duty free when I arrive back at the London Stansted airport ?

Has any one purchased duty free on arriving back to a UK airport ! ?

many thanks

You can purchase and leave at the airport to pick up on your return at Stansted.

But it really isn't worth it very often.

Generally cheaper buying from duty free abroad tbh

Search for "collect on return" for the UK airport you're using.

From a limited search they all seem to mention it only applies to people travelling within the UK and EU though which is odd.
