In the airside shopping area, IIRC, booze etc. displays were clearly labelled as being for international or UK purchase. I know that we have a unique status and all that, but it isn't hard to work out which items to buy. Yes. You are correct that there is an all passengers option at LHR and at LGW But LHR/ LGW etc have many flights connected with the rest of the UK /customs Union LPL doesn't have that many as we noted earlier and most flights are leaving the UK / customs area.. It is possible at LPL that an available to all passengers option may not be viable due to very limited customers. Just a theory and will check this out when I pass through LPL next week.

snowman Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 LPL will sell alcohol in WDF to those travelling to IOM. Just select an item which has a shelf edge label "available to all passengers" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 To be honest Liverpool should take pity on Isle of Man bound passengers and sell them all the alcohol they can carry - purely as they're IOM bound 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nellie Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I passed through the Airport last Thursday when there was a direct flight to Finland. We were flying to Gatwick. At the adjacent checkin desk there was a near hysterical family group who were waiting for the last of their group to arrive for the Finland flight, which was already boarding. Suddenly the missing guy appeared and they were checked in. About 15 minutes later, in the departure lounge, the security staff started wandering around looking for the owner of a black Audi PMN something. It turned out that the guy who was late, and was now sitting on the plane, had simply abandoned his car at the front of the terminal. Its imbeciles like this, not terrorists, who cause all these crazy rules, which then inconvenience everyone else. I hope they crushed it for him.

I was there the other week waiting for a bus and counted at least three SUVs park up in the middle of the road and load up, so everyone behind had to wait. Can't have mumsy walking 30 yards to a safe parking spot. I normally avoid it by parking in the disc bays in the car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanxpilot Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Flybe Mk2 gone the same way as Mk1. Genuinely sorry for the staff who have lost their employment. However, it is proof that it is very difficult to polish a turd. Edited January 28, 2023 by madmanxpilot 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I always wondered how the single lane outside the entrance was going to cope with the projected 2.5 million passengers PA. Security will be salivating with the opportunity to be utterly foul with customers, it's the way to grow a failing business apparently ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
