LEEDS BRADFORD airport has come up with an interesting new initiative combining with Alpha Retail who holds the ”drinks” concession.
Passengers travelling to the EU and within the UK can ”Buy Now ” Collect Later”.
After checking in and going through security travellers can spend time in the Alpha Retail shop and make their selection in the knowledge that they will not have to take the often weighty items with them on their journey.
Whilst not actually ”Duty Free” the prices are ultra competitive and compare very favourably with the high street. Collection is from the Travelex Bureau De Change situated in the newly extended Arrivals Hall.
Already a lady travelling to her ”hen party” has benefited. She ordered 42 bottles of Champagne to pick up on her way back!
Later this year the outlet will also be increasing its product range to include Clarins cosmetics and perfumes.
Alpha's Sharon Hewitt and Steve Jones, retail manager organise a sale.
