I recall Bahrain was pretty popular for departing pax (at least when GF ran services to Europe/Australia but that's another story).
How's Dubai and Oman? I'm headed through the former and would compare it against SYD. Especially for JWB... thanks!
DXB is disappointing -- not as good as SYD or AKL.
Prices and selection (and even sizes!!!) vary a lot by airport. BKK is cheap for some things, HKG for other things. Generally much better selection in HKG. TPE can also be cheap. Most of Europe is priced high, but has some unique liquors. JNB should be very cheap now as the Rand has tanked, unless they have already adjusted the prices. Several other countries have some currency fluctuation plays that make them cheap at times until the prices are readjusted.
