Also worth having a conversation with the staff, a desirable bottle (one which sells for greater than retail price) I enquired about was out of stock once, but after speaking with the sales guy for 5 minutes or so about whisky and my collection, he remembered they did in fact of one in stock in the back...
So just enquiring if they have stock, you might be told no, but that doesn't always mean they don't have stock.
in theory, what if someone booked the cheapest reward international flight available that day, visited the boutique, then and decided they felt unwell so left T5 and went home? Haven't bough duty free for years but I assume they give you the goods at the point of sale, and not at the jetbridge like some US airports?
