Buying Duty Free in transit? (Zurich)

[MaledettoToscano]

I was wondering if anyone knows if it possible to buy duty free while in transit through a non EU airport.

I'll be flying to Sweden next week, but for a number of reasons (don't ask :cool:) it will be through Zurich. Had a look at on of the Duty free shops there (this one (http://www.dutyfreeparadise.ch/zrh_d_en.html)) and they have some nice 3-packs at a pretty good price (not as good as the online prices but not too far from that) which I might grab if I can and have enough time between flights.

Thanks!

there should be shops while in transit and even though they may not be duty free Switzerlands still good for cigar prices.

I dont even remember what zurich airport looks like, i was completely wrecked when I went there, but i'm sure they have an arena in the airport for concerts, etc, which I found strange...just some pointless info.

Probably stating the obvious here but if you have access to the shops while waiting for a connecting flight then I would assume you can use them. This was the case when down in South Africa and waiting for connecting flights.

Unless there are specific restrictions based on destination and/or departure countries.

Just back today.

Didn't manage to stop at the big duty free shop in the main airport building because of the fantastic :rolleyes: combination of an already short transfer time between flights becoming even shorter because of flight delays, but luckily there is a second small DF close to the A terminal gates and I managed to grab these just before jumping on the plane:

Prices not too bad, the only one that comes to mind now was the Petit Robustos which were 16£ for the three.
