AKL-HKG-LHR - Where to buy duty-free?
I will be travelling AKL-HKG-LHR with Air NZ next month.
When going AKL-DXB-LHR or AKL-SIN-LHR, I buy duty-free alcohol at the intermediate airport, with no problems.
I've seen a few posts that say liquids are confiscated in HKG, even after going through security (secondary, jetway screening).
Can anyone who has flown AKL-HKG-LHR tell me if their duty free alcohol purchased in HKG security area has been confiscated prior to boarding their flight? I don't want to buy it and then lose it.
LHR duty free alcohol is not cheap - you can buy it cheaper in Sainsbury's supermarkets, so i shan't be buying at LHR.
