If they are anything like Easyjet, then I got 400 L&B on board for £42 in April, coming from Lanzarote

Why not buy once you have arrived? Prices are sure to be lower there...

They were actually cheaper on my Easyjet flight than they were in resort, even though the islands are duty free.

I was surprised myself at the prices. You can buy very cheap brands for circa 18 euros, but if you want branded ones look whilst on the flight

Be warned though that they often run out on the return leg.

The Airport duty free in Tenerife Sth and Lanzarote (and probably the others) is often cheaper than prices in the resorts

Resort prices will be set for foreign visitors, who are used to paying tax on these goods. Check out the local shops for good deals...

Since no duty is charged in local shops anyway there is no point going to a duty-free shop, where prices will inevitably be higher than in local supermarkets.

Shopped around everywhere, big shops small shops supermarkets and they were all the same pricing, which you actually find also on the mainland, as the price is set by Govt.


Duty free at Lanzarote was circa 8 Euros more for the same brand.


Easy jet were the cheapest all around. I would buy them on the outward leg though, as they did run short on the return leg.


Just remember you can only bring 200 back though, MAN and Lpool airport scan the cases as they come off the plane.Dont know if all the airports do.
