AUH Duty Free Champagne
Has anything been through AUH recently that can comment on the Champagne selection? Connecting via AUH to Seychelles and was trying to determine if I need to bring some bottles with me or not.
DXB seems to have a decent selection listed online, is AUH similar?
Bonus points if anyone can comment on wine / champagne on arrival in SEY.
Thanks!

Not sure where you're flying from but I've been buying Champagne Ex London as usually better prices better quality and more choice especially if you have the DuFry Red app which gives a discount, I now have Platinum status which I believe gives up to a further 11% off purchases and for reasons unknown Heathrow is the cheapest place in the world to buy LaMer creams plus you ALSO get the Red by Dufry discount
Hope that helps

Thanks - flying from Toronto so typically not better or cheaper. The selection in DXB seemed decent so I was hoping AUH would be similar but they don't have a nice website.

But have you seen the champagne / wine prices at resorts in they Seychelles? Oh man.
Thanks for taking a look.
I wasn't planning on it. I was going to bring the duty free amount and then hopefully grab a few more things in SEZ if there is anything worth getting.
The 2L limit is annoying, doesn't quite make 3 bottles per person.
