I flew back to Prestwick on 21st April .However, I wanted to buy a litre of Gin .I had checked the price on the outbound flight and the difference in price was 20 cents and it is a plastic bottle so I thought that will do for me.
Therefore, I ignored buying in the shops and waited to buy on board..
Wrong, no duty free alcohol or cigs on the flight. Now we all know that the Canaries are classed as non Eu for booze and fags so a lost sale for me and the passenger in row 1.
The no1 on the flight said that it was due to the stock being loaded in Edinburgh!!
So lost sales for Ryanair and Mr O'Leary when there was a captive market.Tut tut :)
