1-888-DUTYFREE or 1-888-388-9373 |
Nope.

Not sure about AA, but the dutyfree shops in EWR/LGA/JFK tend to have it for $134 per 750ml. Still pretty steep in my book, since they also have liters of Talisker (yum!) for $40 or so.

I make it a hobby to compare prices of JW Blue at Duty Free Stores around the world. Cheapest sighting recently (last month) is $115 at the Jakarta Airport. Any chance of this becoming a new AA destination?

Havent seen the blue for a while on AA.
About 2 yrs ago I bought a bottle on board and was only charged for a bottle of black! Maybe that mistake was hppening too often (I only realised after the flight). Here is a link to the current AA duty free list: http://www.retailtravel.com/aa/index.htm |

Steep? It ain't going much lower than that. I got it for $120 (which is the lowest I had ever seen at a duty free store) at the Canadian border on an "excursion" to Montreal. Most liquor stores have it over $200, so $134 is still a great deal.
Any other instances of duty free actually having something cheaper? |
SJU has it for 120. I've seen it in St Maarten stores for less than a hundred.
|
SYD and MEL have it ( last I checked ) at AUD155 ( approx USD120 ) which is a pretty decent price

I take it above prices are for a 1 litre bottle?
It was $120 on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship for 1 litre. Buy 2 bottles and you got another 0.2L bottle free. Great whisky! Earlier this month on an AA transatlantic flight they were selling 5 x 0.2 bottles of whisky which included JW Blue. |
I hate to disagree with Gopherblue but I really like Blue Label. I think it's quite smooth.
That said, AA last offered Blue Label in 2004 at a price of $125 a 750 ml. bottle. There were only two carried onboard trans-Atlantic flights. The price at the JFK duty free shop is $135 a bottle. Of that I am sure. If I recall correctly, the 1 liter bottle is $175, but don't hold me to that. Just coincidentally, I was at Garnet Liquors, a well-known discount shop in Manhattan yesterday and I saw Blue Label at $242 a bottle. Add to that the sales tax of 8.65% ($20.93) and you get a whopping $262.93 making duty free almost 50% off. Personally, I think that's great. I bought four bottles in September (need a couple for gifts, etc.), took them to Europe and brought them back. I declared them to U.S. Customs which waived the duty and the tax. For lovers of Johnnie Walker, take a look at www.johnniewalker.com and look for the personalized labels. The guy who got a bottle of Blue Label from me last year with his name on it was talking about it months later. Now, what I'd like is to be able to buy a 4.5 liter bottle of Red or Black label which I need for a party at the end of January. Anyone have any ideas or can help me out? |
