There is no duty free in Europe anymore,

There is no duty free between EU Member countries, there is still Duty Free if travelling to a non EU destination.

I have heard the duty free allowances have been reduced, please can anyone tell me the duty free allowances from Manchester airport into Dalaman.  

[suzi Q]

also my friend was told she can bring back into UK 1200 Cigarettes. That's what they told her in duty free.
But i'm sure its still only 200 each,please can anyone advise.

In Manchester the sign on the bagage claim said 200 cigarettes from non EU member countries.
The link below takes you straight to the HMRC page displaying allowances.

In summary it is as follows
Alcohol allowances
You can bring in either, but not both, of the following:
...1 litre of spirits or strong liqueurs over 22 per cent volume
...2 litres of fortified wine (such as port or sherry), sparkling wine or any other alcoholic drink that's less than 22 per cent volume
Or you can combine these allowances. For example, if you bring in one litre of fortified wine (half your full allowance) you can also bring in half a litre of spirits (half your full allowance). This would make up your full allowance. You can't go over your total alcohol allowance.

In addition you may also bring back both of the following:
...16 litres of beer
...4 litres of still wine
Tobacco allowances
You can bring in one from the following list:
...200 cigarettes
...100 cigarillos
...50 cigars
...250g of tobacco
Or you can combine these allowances. For example, if you bring in 100 cigarettes (half your full allowance) you can also bring in 25 cigars (half your full allowance). This would make up your full tobacco allowance. You can't go over your total tobacco allowance.

You cannot combine alcohol and tobacco allowances.

Other goods including perfume and souvenirs
You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 without having to pay tax and/or duty.

And it is 200 cigarettes and 1 litre of spirits no matter what the staff tell you in Dalaman Duty Free!!! I have overheard all sorts of claims over the years - 2000 cigarettes, 5 litres - and people believe them!

"That's what they told me in duty free" isn't a defence at Gatwick customs unfortunately. Be careful!

But the question was about bringing duty free into Turkey, not Gatwick:D

[Scunner]
