Don't they sort of "gate check" duty free purchases and you pick them up at the destination?

- ghaff 10y agoNot that I'm aware. If you've seen duty free purchases at the gate it's probably because they've been delivered from duty free for the purchasers to pick up and take on the plane. (Because, though they're usually no great deal, duty free is only for purchases being taken out of the country.)
- ojbyrne 10y agoNo, sort of opposite. You pick them up at the departing gate and carry them aboard. I'm guessing they do that to make it more likely you're taking them on an international flight and not buying stuff for someone else on a different flight.
- x1798DE 10y agoAh, I never bought anything duty free, but I've seen them set aside at the gates. Guess I assumed it was to be picked up at arrival. Thanks for the info.
