Duty Free when flying within UK?


Hi how many cigarettes can you buy if you are travelling from one UK airport to another?

i believe its 200

NONE. You must leave the country

None whatsoever..Duty free only applies on international routes

None, all items will be subject to UK duty unless you are leaving the country.Plus on an internal flight you won`t even get to duty free.

as many as you can afford, but they are not duty free, you are within the one country .. if you fly within the EU it is the same, no deal !
Maybe IoMan Channel isalnd have deals
Look on the bright side - the less you buy the longer you live...

As many as you like but you'll pay UK duty on all of them.

There are no Duty Free allowances within the boundaries of the UK.

You can buy as many as you like in the 'normal' shops'

When you try to buy 'Duty Free' they will demand to see you Boarding Pass and Passport.

When it is discovered that you are not leaving the EU, they will charge you normal price.

The list below outlines the regulations but as you are travelling internal you have no allowance.

Duty free allowances and information in the United Kingdom

When travelling to the UK from the EU
You do not have to pay duty on any items bought in another EU country as long as:
