I admit that I tend not to shop at the airport, the point is that the concept of saving money at duty free is now a souvenir of the past. Terminals are now indoor shopping malls, where unlike domestic ones you can pay in the currency you prefer, and in some cases even in cryptocurrencies.
The novelty presented by British Airways for charges made at London Heathrow, but also for Iberia Plus members for charges made at World Duty Free stores in Spain, however, will allow turn any spending into avios points, and since they are free points it's better than nothing.
How the accumulation of avios points in Duty Free works
From sunglasses to skin care, perfumes to fashion, BA loyalty program members can now accumulate one Avios for every pound spent at any World Duty Free store in all Heathrow terminals.
To start collecting, Members must ensure that they have signed up for Red by Dufry, World Duty Free's loyalty program, and to have included Executive Club details in the Red by Dufry app.
Avios will be awarded within 72 hours of each purchase eligible and a bonus of 250 Avios is available on the first transaction.
Colm Lacy, Chief Commercial Offer at British Airways, said, "We know how much accumulating Avios makes a difference to our customers' travels, so we continue to find new ways to make it easier than ever. With World Duty Free's expansive presence at Heathrow, members will have many opportunities to earn Avios, bringing them ever closer to their next flight, vacation or experience."
