New Age Duty Free

[clandrum at PICKNOWL.COM.AU]

Hi all 

Likewise in Australia - we have inbound duty free, but only if your trip 
terminates at an International airport and you enter through the 
international arrival gates and not all international aiports have open DF, 
especially if your flight is arriving after midnight. 

Also, if you arrive and connect to a domestic flight prior to ending your 
trip, no DF. 

In Australia, the range you get is sometimes significantly better with 
outbound DF and also the prices can differ between DF stores not located on 
airport premises.
