Beijing capital international airport
Highlight: check-in service is provided when leaving the country.
Buy: beauty products, cigarettes, folk arts and crafts
The influence of Capital International Airport can be seen from the big-name duty-free shops opened in T2 terminal in recent years. However, since the completion of T3 Terminal with luxurious design and advanced facilities last year, the development of duty-free shops of various brands has obviously started to move closer to here and gradually formed a scale. If you have a travel plan recently, it is also a pleasure to shop in your own place before going abroad. T3 also provides storage service, so you don't have to take things with you on the plane. You can pick it up at the duty-free shop in the baggage claim area when you return home. There are duty-free shops at the entrance and exit of T3, but the goods at the exit are more complete.
For the duty-free shops in the largest retail store in the Capital Airport, some people have carefully compared them before. Basically, the price here is still about 10% cheaper than that in downtown Hong Kong or the airport. Local shopaholics always think it's cheaper to buy international brands abroad, but they don't know that they can get a big bargain at home-not only are there all kinds of big-name cosmetics and perfumes in duty-free banks, but the prices of many brands are almost 5-7 times lower than those of the counters in shopping malls, making it difficult for people not to sell them. Besides, things here are not only cheap, but also many new products have not yet been put on the shelves.
Duty-free, for imported goods, refers to exemption from import duties and import value-added tax, which varies according to different types of goods. Because for the mainland, the tax rate of cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol is very high, so the prices of cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol in duty-free shops are much cheaper than those outside. In addition, many brand clocks and watches that have entered the airport, such as Wanguo, Omega, Longines and Tissot, are almost 7-8 times cheaper than brand franchise stores. But if your ticket is to fly to Hong Kong, then this is definitely not the best choice.
There are also some handicrafts with China characteristics in the tax-free bank, which are relatively inexpensive, but it is also a good choice if you forget to bring some gifts to foreign friends before boarding the plane.
Extended data:
Duty-free shops refer to shops that are approved by the General Administration of Customs and set up by business units in People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council or places approved by their authorized departments that meet the requirements of customs supervision to store duty-free goods and sell and supply duty-free goods to specific targets. At present, the duty-free shops in China mainly include port duty-free shops, traffic duty-free shops, local duty-free shops, diplomatic duty-free shops, ship replenishment duty-free shops and foreign exchange duty-free shops for Chinese people going abroad.

Global airport
Zurich Zurich Airport, Switzerland
Shopping index: ★★★★★
Best value: chocolate, saber, watch.
Star brands: Guess, calvin klein, Versace, Sand, Mexx.
Price level: you can enjoy duty-free goods.
Shopping environment: Zurich Airport is like a comprehensive town with bustling streets and squares, bustling shops, charming cafes and restaurants.
Featured service: The service here is really convenient and top-notch.
Find fault: the total area of the airport is 807 hectares, which is beyond the reach of people with superior physical strength.
Experience: Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and a global financial center. In addition to the bustling streets and squares, bustling shops, charming cafes and restaurants are another major feature here.
Zurich Airport is a charming shopping paradise, not only because there are many famous shops here, but also because you can still buy real duty-free or value-added goods here. The airport outlet located near the third check-in gate is the most nostalgic shopping paradise. In the hypermarket with an area of 65,438+0,000 square meters, AirportOutlet provides customers with internationally renowned brands such as Guess, CalvinKlien, Versace, Sande, Mexx, etc. with attractive prices (the highest discount can reach 50%).
When I am about to leave this city, I still have some attachments to spend here. Seize the last chance to express my love for this city again. Don't forget your watch. It plays the leading role at Zurich International Airport. Many big brands, such as Rolex, Tissot and Longines. There are more fashionable brands, such as Swatch, which are all here to keep the eyes of passers-by. As the hometown of cuckoo clock, you will find that the fairy tale world is not out of reach here; Chocolate is a world-famous dessert in Switzerland. It has a unique taste and may remind you of your family. There are also famous Swiss army knives and various Swiss handicrafts with national flower patterns and shapes, which will make you turn around and look back at the moment of parting. ...
Singapore Changi Airport Changi Airport
Shopping index: ★★★★★
Best value: cosmetics, perfume.
Star brands: Chanel, Estee Lauder.
Price level: Generally speaking, the shopping price in Singapore is slightly higher than that in Hong Kong. But the airport seems to be cheaper than the city. In addition, the duty-free shops at Changi Airport often engage in some promotional activities, such as buying more than three pieces at a 15% discount.
Special service: The service of Singapore Airport is very humanized. There is a fitness center at gate 1, where you can exercise, beautify, massage, watch movies and even swim.
Shopping environment: great comfort, quite happy. There are nearly 40 booths providing catering services in the two terminals, and there are more than 100 shops selling all kinds of goods.
Find fault: Changi Airport has two terminals. Although you can take a free train to shuttle between them, you still find it inconvenient.
Experience: Duty-free shops, brand stores, restaurants and bars are dotted with abundant materials. Cosmetics here are cheaper than those in Singapore, but they still seem to be inferior to those in Hong Kong Airport. However, some duty-free shops exclusively sell Q perfume sets, skin care products sets or make-up plates, which are very cost-effective. I once bought a Estee Lauder skin care set there, 1000 yuan eye cream+day cream+night cream, and a classic black patent leather handbag as a gift. I came back to see a few things that added up to 2000 yuan, but I couldn't beat them and stole them for a long time.
It is said that Chanel is also very cheap at Singapore airport and worth buying. Because I don't use Chanel, I haven't actually checked it out. Besides cosmetics and perfume, it is strongly recommended that you bring some cigarettes and wine to your husband and father when you leave Singapore. Smoking is cheap, and almost everyone will bring two Chinese when they go home.
Contrary to domestic airports, the catering price at Changi Airport is much cheaper than that in urban areas. The per capita price of seafood hot pot of similar grade is 5 Singapore dollars lower than that of the previous day.
If you are tired of shopping, you can sit by the pool full of orchids and watch the scenery-the flight attendants of Singapore Airlines who go shopping together are very eye-catching. In this case, even things that don't seem to arouse the desire to buy on weekdays may be bought home by the devil. No wonder many MM think Changi Airport is a magical place.
China Hong Kong International Airport Hong Kong
Shopping index: ★★★★★★★
Most worth buying: cosmetics, brand-name sunglasses.
Star brands: Cartier, Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Chanel, Anna Su, Fendi, Prada, Versace.
Price level: from small souvenirs of HK$ 65,438+00 to well-known brands of over RMB 10,000.
Shopping environment: The airport has a special shopping corridor with more than 200 shops and restaurants.
Special services: There are 19 well-equipped baby rooms, which are convenient for passengers to change diapers and feed their babies.
Nitpicking: The cosmetics in duty-free shops are more expensive than those in Sasha and Zhuoyue cosmetics shops in urban areas, but the quality is guaranteed.
Experience: Hong Kong Airport is full of shops and restaurants. I basically bought it all the way from the airport to the restricted area.
Most of the food is outside the restricted area, and Disney souvenirs, travel bags and watches are also on sale. In the restricted area of the terminal building, there are many international top cosmetics, clothing, bags, perfumes, jewelry and other luxury goods. I suggest that after boarding the plane, you can feel free to go around the restricted area. New shops and interesting products can attract my attention. I am considering what gifts to bring to my relatives and friends. There is an area that specializes in selling duty-free tobacco and alcohol, and the price is much cheaper than that in China, especially some foreign cigarettes and alcohol that are expensive in China, which are much cheaper here and beautifully packaged.
Duty-free shops selling top brands are my must-see places. Perfume, cosmetics and skin care products are all available, and the sales staff are very professional. And girls like to leave most of their waiting time here. There is also a large toy store that I and other childlike people like. The types of toys are no less than Toys R Us in Hong Kong, and many of them are fairy toys that are not seen in China. The grocery store near the boarding gate is often my last stop. I will use up all my Hong Kong dollars and choose some Hong Kong-style food for my family.
Airport Schiphol, Netherlands
Shopping index: ★★★★
Best value: limited perfume and make-up in European cosmetics are not only much earlier than in China, but also much cheaper.
Star brand: cosmetics, electrical appliances
Price level: there are electrical gadgets ranging from several euros to several thousand euros, so shopping is more feasible.
Special service: There is a big casino in the airport.
Shopping environment: There are all kinds of facilities for eating, drinking and having fun.
Find fault: there is not enough time.
Experience: Compared with other countries, the tax refund at Dutch airports is more convenient and relaxed.
Everything is not cheap, you must have some knowledge before buying it. There is basically nothing to buy except limited perfume, because the price is similar to that in China. If you have knowledge in your heart, you can find a change, because there are often discounts here, which are often very valuable. Sometimes a brand will set up a promotion booth like a shopping mall. At this time, when you meet something you like, you must start.
Compared with cosmetics, clothing is a little scattered and small in scale. I can't try it on because I have to catch a plane at the airport, so I don't know much about it. Generally, it is not recommended to buy it.
There are also some small household appliances here. Although it is not as cheap as German, it is quite affordable compared with China. Compared with other similar airports, things like tobacco, alcohol and candy don't seem to have many advantages.
London Heathrow Airport, UK
Shopping index: ★★★★☆.
Best value: pipe, tobacco.
Star brands: Hermes, Chanel, Dunhill.
Price level: quite high.
Shopping environment: very elegant, very British style.
Featured services: British airports have become stricter because of some terrorist attacks, which is a bit like "9- 1 1" in the United States at that time.
Nitpicking: Everything is fine except the price.
Experience: The biggest feature of the airport store is that it is expensive. It costs seven or eight pounds to grab a snack and have a cup of coffee. The goods sold are cheaper than those bought in shops in central London. There is a special tax refund window where the airport leaves customs. It is particularly worth mentioning that there is a large store selling cosmetics brands, with a full range of products and all kinds of perfumes. From L 'Oré al and Canil to Ya Dun, Guerlain, Clinique, L 'Occitane, Sisley, HR, Estee Lauder, Clarins, Lancome, CD, Chanel and Laprairie, samples are usually given through communication with sales staff. The only thing that people don't quite understand is that, as a well-known British brand, bodyshop is hard to find at Heathrow Airport, which is in sharp contrast to the body shop stores that abound on the streets of London.
Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France
Shopping index: ★★★★★
Best value: champagne, chocolate.
Star brands: Cartier, Hermes.
Price level: There is no difference between the prices of goods in airport duty-free shops and those in downtown Paris.
Shopping environment: * * There are 220 stores, 166 service stores,11bars and restaurants, and 9 hotels.
Special service: equipped with staff who can speak Chinese.
Find fault: the number of duty-free shops is small, especially the brands and varieties of cosmetics are much less than those in Paris.
Experience: I like to buy duty-free goods directly at the French airport, because those bought in other places have to be refunded at the airport, and the tax refund speed is very slow (suddenly realizing whether this is intentional at the French airport can greatly enhance people's enthusiasm for shopping at the airport).
Every time I see a large number of China people crowded in cosmetics stores, buying a lot of perfume and cosmetics seems to cost nothing, which makes me dumbfounded. Usually I just buy an eye cream or some skin care products that are running out, which proves that I didn't waste the opportunity. It will be more cost-effective to buy perfume at Christmas. France always introduces perfume gift boxes at Christmas, and the price is the same as that of a single bottle of perfume, so my perfumes are replenished at that time. If you like Lancome and Clinique, let's start here, because they are local brands in France, and they are tax-free and much cheaper than domestic brands. Catching up with the promotion is not a little value. I once bought the largest bottle of Lancome Toner, which was only a little over 100, equivalent to13 of the domestic price.
Bangkok Bangkok International Airport, Thailand
Shopping index: ★★★★☆.
Best value: British pharmacy brand BOOTS.
Star brands: L 'Oreal, HR, Xixili
Price level: consumption is not high.
Shopping environment: the airport duty-free shop has a large area.
Featured service: Because of the language barrier, it is not true to have good service.
Find fault: the logo of duty-free shops is unclear.
Experience: Duty-free shops are very large, so whether the price is really cheap is not mentioned for the time being. Only two large cosmetic consumption areas will make girls linger, and the people who have been there are probably most impressed by the completeness and affordable price of L 'Oré al brand products. When there were no L 'Oré al men's skin care products in China, everything was available, from face washing to sun protection.
Some people say that the goods in Thai airports are not as cheap as those on the plane, and there is also real news that the commodity tax in Thai airports has increased. However, the boots in Bangkok airport are cheaper than those in Hong Kong, and the packaging is very large, which is very suitable for hoarding and using slowly at home. At the same time, there are many luxury shops in the airport. Although the discount is not much, the style is novel.
Munich airport, Germany
Shopping index: ★★★★★
Most worth buying: beer cups, jewelry of major brands, watches, perfumes, steel products, fashion, handicrafts and books.
Star brand: Airbrau restaurant
Price level: good quality and low price, very good value.
Shopping environment: the variety is rich and the price is quite real.
Special service: Munich Airport has the only airport brewery in the world.
Find fault: if you go too high, you will easily miss the plane. The tax refund location is remote and difficult to find.
Experience: The impression of the shopping environment in Munich Airport needs to be illustrated: I, a person with a relatively good sense of time, actually wandered around the airport happily, made a mistake at the boarding gate, almost stayed at the airport, and had to wait 48 hours to get on the plane home from work!
People who have been to Munich airport in Germany probably feel the same way with me: this is not only the place where planes take off and land, but also the battlefield for the first time after everyone set foot in Munich.
Shopping in Munich Airport is divided into two areas: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, with more than 30 shops/kloc-0. The shops in Terminal 1 are mainly located in public areas, and the shops in Terminal 2 are located after the security check of passengers and hand luggage.
German goods usually give people the impression of good quality and low price, Munich has the reputation of "shopper's paradise", and Munich Airport has all the advantages of German business circle-large scale, rich content, excellent price and good quality. In addition to high-end duty-free shops, tourist value-added shops, specialty stores and souvenir shops with internationally renowned designers, there are also various snack foods to choose from. The five-in-one package from fast food restaurant to "Beetle" restaurant will make guests go to HIGH first and then to HIGH. Among them, Airbrau restaurant is the most distinctive.
Munich Airport has the only airport brewery in the world, namely Airbrau, which is located in the center of Munich Airport, next to Bavarian Beer Garden. There is a beer brewing device in the store, and there is an open-air dining table with trees and flowers outside the store. Of course, beer should be home-brewed white beer or dark beer, but it depends on your capacity for liquor. White beer is lighter and fresher, while dark beer is thicker and heavier. Moreover, the beer here is as valuable as the airport goods, and it costs only 34 euros for a glass.
dubai international airport
Shopping index: ★★★★★★★
Best value: watches, L 'Oreal cosmetics, duty-free cigarettes.
Star brands: there are all kinds of big brands, including cosmetics such as Ysl, Lancome and Shiseido, as well as watches such as Rolex, Omega, Bupa, Centennial, Wanguo, Cartier and Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Price level: Skin care products are very cheap.
Shopping environment: The duty-free zone covers an area of 9,000 square meters, with gorgeous facilities, world-famous brands and fashion keeping pace with Europe and America. It is a veritable world-class shopping airport.
Special service: you can use your credit card to shop, either in US dollars or dirhams, eliminating the handling fee of 1.5% for domestic dual-currency credit cards.
Find fault: the Arabic dried fruit that my family is looking forward to is very disappointed. A pack of 500g dried fruits costs about 50 RMB. After opening it, it is found to be fashionable, which is not as good as that bought in Beijing supermarkets.
Experience: Dubai International Airport is known as the busiest passenger and cargo airport, with 65,438+000 foreign airlines using Dubai International Airport. The 9000 square meters duty-free shop, with sales exceeding 2 1 100 million dirhams (US$ 590 million) in 2005, became the third largest airport duty-free shop in the world. Its gorgeous facilities, world-famous brands and fashion keeping pace with Europe and America make it a truly world-class shopping place.
Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan
Shopping index: ★★★★☆.
Best value: Mikimoto ornaments
Star brand: Tiffany &; Co., Salvatore Ferragamo, RMES, Cartier, Bulgari, EMPORIOARMANI, RALPHLAUREN, CELINE, Dunhill, Burberry, Gucci, Coach, ETRO, Mikimoto, Shiseido, etc.
Price level: If you are not too sensitive to price, you can still enjoy a lot of shopping fun.
Shopping environment: the environment is good, and the staff have a good service attitude, which makes you feel like God.
Special service: enjoy the servility of service personnel like God.
Find fault: Japanese brand skin care products are more expensive, so it is definitely not worth buying here.
Narita Airport has the largest number of duty-free shops among all airports in Japan. In addition to world-famous brand stores, there are various restaurants for you to enjoy delicious food.
The duty-free shop at Narita Airport has a good environment, and the attitude of the sales girl is also good. Bowing makes you feel like God. However, being God comes at a price. The prices of goods here are not cheap, especially Japanese small commodities, food, small household appliances, Japanese clothing and so on. It's more expensive than those in Tokyo shops. Of course, if you are not too sensitive to the price, you can still enjoy a lot of shopping fun.
Japanese people have the best famous brands, and there are naturally various shiny brands in the duty-free shops at Narita Airport, such as: Tiffany &; Company, SalvatoreFerragamo, RMES, Cartier, Bulgari, EMPORIO ARMANI, RALPHLAUREN, CELINE, Dunhill, Burberry, Gucci, Coach, ETRO, Mikimoto, Shiseido, etc.
It is not recommended that you buy Japanese brand skin care products at Narita Airport, because you really can't save much money. This is my personal experience. Once when I returned to Beijing from Tokyo, I was so busy that I forgot all about getting skin care products for a sister. This sister who loves SK ⅱ gave a lot of advice before she left. On the way to the airport, my pig brain finally remembered. At that time, I comforted myself: nothing, just buy it at the airport! I chose several SK II skin care products at the airport. When I swiped my card, I found that it was not much cheaper than Beijing, but much more expensive than buying it in Hong Kong!
Among many brand stores in Narita Airport, I like Mikimoto (one of the top ten jewelers in the world) best. The Japanese think pearls are elegant and noble, with an implicit beauty, which is especially suitable for Japanese women. Therefore, Japanese women will have several pieces of pearl jewelry, and housewives will also bring pearl necklaces when chatting and having afternoon tea together. Mikimoto's jewelry is exquisite, although the price is too unfriendly. It is said that the pearls in Mikimoto are 100 first-class flower beads 5 to 10. My boyfriend couldn't resist my repeated threats and inducements, and finally gave me a pair of Mikimoto earrings. Although the style is simple, it is very classic and immediately became the treasure of my town box. So hanging out in Mikimoto's store at Narita Airport has become my reserved program, although most of the time I just window-shop.
