Is it cheaper to shop in tax-free stores? Don t buy these 5 things at the airport: the price is two or three times more expensive

When traveling, try to avoid buying the following five items at the airport, because the price is usually two or three times higher than other places in the destination. As long as you plan in advance, you don’t have to buy things at the airport and get hurt by buying them.

1. Drinking water

Travel to Blank website recommends that you bring an empty water bottle during the inspection, and add water to the boarding port after inspection. Because of the inspection, the water tank can be found in the waiting room. This method is not only an excellent way to save money, but also keep yourself hydrated during travel without having to spend more money to buy water. The same is true for food. It is a good way for people to bring or buy sandwiches or snacks from their homes before leaving or at restaurants before leaving.

2. The souvenir price at the souvenir

airport is usually twice the price of sightseeing points in the city, and there are not many choices. Travel to Blank recommends that the public plan in advance and buy souvenirs at the destination store.

3. Tax-free goods

Shopping in tax-free stores is usually not a good idea because it will eventually make the public spend more money. Unless you are lucky enough to encounter a very cost-effective discount, you may enjoy the same price as outside and also buy novel products. However, in some cases, tax-free stores will still be cheaper than in some countries, such as Ecuador in South America, because the taxes in that country are very high. The simplest way is to use the Amazon website or Google search, compare the price before purchasing and then start.

4. Exchange

airports usually have the worst price for exchanges because many people think they cannot change in the city. It is recommended that the public wait until they arrive in the city before changing to get the most favorable exchange rate. If you really need to exchange at the airport to pay for transportation, it is recommended to change after the care inspection and maritime inspection, as this exchange rate may be better. In addition, cash can also be withdrawn using an automatic withdrawal machine (ATM) because the bank only charges a 1% stipulation fee, which also includes the transfer of currency. If the public wants to withdraw money using the automatic withdrawal machine, they can withdraw the large amount of money at one time to avoid the increase in the transaction fee after multiple small amounts, or contact their own bank to understand the bank's foreign currency trading policies and fees.

5. WiFi

Some airports must pay to use WiFi, or force the public to upgrade faster WiFi, which will cost 10 yuan to connect to the Internet when waiting. Therefore, it is recommended that the public can find restaurants or cafes that offer free WiFi at the airport. Even if you need to buy a cup of coffee to enjoy the WiFi provided by the merchant, it is better than spending money to buy WiFi at the airport, and there is no coffee to drink.
