Are "Gullible" Tourists still being lied to at Air

[Scunner]

For people not going back to the EU (maybe Russians?) and people going back to the UK who are greedy/gullible.

What is the amount that you can take back if they are not Duty Free, i.e. if you buy them from a shop in resort?

200 still

so why show your flight tickets at the counter then?

By the way did you know that gullible is not a real word and is not in the OED.

So they can phone Gatwick to tell them who is on their way on TCX741 with 1000 fags

[tinkerman]

you just might be right, they catch em at gatwick, confiscate the fags and send them back to dalaman for re sale

In truth they ask to see your boarding passes I think to reassure themselves that you are actually travelling - like the two in a row security checks plus passport control aren't enough. Once they establish you didn't come in through a skylight, they couldn't care less how many you buy, it's not their problem. I saw exactly the same in Prague, people on our flight not allowed to buy duty free fags but buying loads - each one had to produce their boarding pass, which was checked and on all occasions they bought all the fags they had in their basket.

Sadly on arrival at Edinburgh, not a single official in the customs area at all.
