Duty-free MAC?

[BlahWah]

I've seen items purchased at duty-free stores but which ones sell MAC? Specifically, are there are Canadian dfs which sell MAC? These seem like mythical stores to me!

I know there's one at London Heathrow Airport

I didn't notice the one in Vancouver. OO now I'm excited since I go there to visit my sister at least twice a year

Hm. Might have to rescind that... Just checked the Vancouver website and it isn't listed, someone at work told me about it... the one at Pearson there were job postings for so I *know* that one is real. maybe email MAC cusotmer service?

 

[BlahWah]

^ Thanks maxcat! I was thinking about emailing cs but I sometimes don't get a reply till a week later and I'm flying out this Friday, hoping to hit some dfs on the way (hopefully in Chicago, Japan & Hong kong if there are any). I thought it'd also be a good way for others to check in the future.

I'll definitely check out Pearson! Do you remember which terminal? Is there any other way I can check myself outside of cust. service? I tried the store locator but nothing showed up for under Pearson, the closest was Square One.

No, the duty free stores don't show up for some reason... but it's in the brand new International wing of Terminal One... if you're flying thru Terminal 3 you may be out of luck.

Boo, I'm in Terminal 3!! Unless we get there earlier despite the snow and such, I'll have to wait till next time. And this may sound silly, but what time (generally) are the stores open? As in, they're not 24-hr or open for a great long time, are they?

London Gatwick Airport. South Terminal in Duty Free World. I know because I worked in WHSmith for 3 years next door to it lol.

I know one at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport.

I THINK the mac at TST Ocean Terminal in Hong Kong might be duty free? Thing is... hong kong doesn't really have much of a tax anyway- I don't think they tax cosmetic items at all actually, so it probably won't make much of a difference!

There's not a duty free store in Chicago. Actually no airport I've been in in the US has one.

You can only buy duty free out the terminal that you're departing, unfortunately. But as a rule duty free is always open when an international flight is leaving.

I don't think we have duty-fee stores at all in America...so I am the wrong person to answer this LOL!

I saw a Duty Free at the Detroit Metropolitan airport but there wasn't anything of interest, no MAC for sure.

BlahWah, I know there is a really awesome duty free in the Narita, Japan airport. They didn't have any MAC but I scored some really awesome Dior and Chanel make-up and a Fendi bag!!

 

[LatinaRose]

No MAC, but at LAX I got some great Dior makeup travel sets that weren't sold in dept. stores!

The only DFS I've seen in the US has been at the Oahu, HI airport. The girls working there were soooooooooo nice!

I've heard that there is on in San Fransisco (not at the airport), but I've never been there...oooooh, it's a mystery! =)

I don't notice any price differences, but certainly if you buy in packs/sets, everything is cheaper!

*edit* There is one in the Singapore airport!

Thanks so much everybody! Makes my trip oh-so more exciting. If there are any more please continue to list, hopefully it'll help enhance others' trips too!
