There's much more to do at the airport when waiting for your flight than sitting in a lounge or having a pre-flight drink or two.

With a wealth of travel exclusive products, deals, seasonal offers and discounts to be found, doing some Tax and Duty Free shopping is an ideal way to take advantage of some big savings this summer.

In departures at Manchester, East Midlands and Bournemouth Airports there is a huge range of items savvy shoppers can pick up while jetting off this year.

Biza Tax and Duty Free, World Duty Free and Dixons Travel Retail have selected a range of products, which show the savings that can be made at the airport, compared to the average UK high street price.

Beth Brewster, Retail Director at Manchester Airports Group (MAG) said: "From the fabulous range of quality products below, it's clear to see we have something to suit every taste and wallet size. There really are some fantastic offers to be found at all of our airports and bargain hunting passengers can bag a great deal compared to high street alternatives."

She continued: "MAG is committed to working with first class providers who not only offer great value, but really high standard products so passengers can jet off on their travels in the confidence they have purchased a really quality item."

World Duty Free and Biza Tax and Duty Free independently survey their core categories - fragrance, cosmetics, skincare, spirits and champagne - four times throughout the year. The stores visited as part of the survey process are the ones you may typically find on the high street, from the mainstream to the more premium including: Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys, Superdrug, Boots, The Perfume Shop, Threshers, John Lewis and Selfridges.

The survey is undertaken nationally so it gives a true representation of the UK high street prices. The combined results are collated together to give an average high street price. This is the comparison price you will see on many of their price tickets in stores.

Customers can check prices before they visit, by visiting their websites www.worlddutyfree.com or www.shopbiza.com
