That's great. No more getting woken up in the middle of a TPAC or TATL flight from the Duty Free announcements.
And, that means more storage space in the galleys for other things, BoB perhaps?

Some foreign airlines seem to go all out for it but I guess this is just too little profit for too much work for UA. Maybe they can carry an extra cartful of food to feed us

Did United roll the carts through the aisle with the Duty Free items? I didn't see or hear announcements for Duty Free on our way down to Peru last September.

The poll needs a third option - "Have never purchased duty free items on any flight on any airline at any time".

Maybe they will be able to stock more gel pillows and pads. Go from 60 percent to at least 65 percent.
