Buying a Macbook Pro 15" Retina Display Questions

As stated in the title, I'm purchasing the Macbook Pro 15" retina display.

I've decided that...it is cheaper for me to buy a cheap return flight to London for £60 and buy the macbook at the airport.

My question is, is there anything else I need to purchase? I'm already going to pick up the applecare from somewhere else, as I don't think they have it at the airport

    Case/slip cover for it?
    Wireless mouse?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?
  • Are you sure this will be cheaper? You usually only get the tax free prices when flying outside of the EU.

    I asked last time I was there, he told me it's only cigarettes that you need to fly out of EU to get cheap??

    The airport prices aren't necessarily tax free, but they may be a bit less than on the high street. You won't make a massive saving, to be honest.

    It's like £1500 or near enough at the airport or 1800 in uk stores. I'd rather have a couple of nights in London than pay full price! It's a great excuse for a weekend away
