Although presumably not in the same shops (i.e. the same camera in Fortress)? Or is the 'price promise'* not worth the bill board it's written on?!

This is not to dispute, of course, that shopping around downtown is likely to result in finding better deals than those available at the airport.

* All items for sale at the airport will cost no more than the same item (same store) in Central, blah blah - see here
