About Best Duty Free Offers

We track duty-free shelf prices at major airports and compare them with US retail. Sometimes it's a steal. Often it isn't.

The duty-free sign does a lot of heavy lifting. We've watched travelers grab a "bargain" bottle that costs less at the supermarket down the street from their house.

We write down shelf prices at big international airports and line them up against US department stores, liquor shops and online retailers on the same week. Travel-exclusive sizes get priced per milliliter, because that's where the tricks hide.

Fragrance, spirits, cosmetics and watches are the main categories. Some genuinely save you money. Some are dressed-up full price.
