Shopping at Alicante Airport

Alicante airport has a number of excellent shops in its new NAT Terminal. If you want to kill some time or buy that last minute gift, looking around these shops will certainly keep you occupied whilst you are waiting to board your plane.

One of the most popular types of shop is the Duty Free shop where you can find discounted drinks, tobacco, cosmetics, perfume, alcohol and accessories. There are three duty free shops in the terminal, two are express stores, with one located just after customs for arriving passengers and the other is a small shop located near to gate B31. The largest duty free shop is located immediately to your left after you have cleared security. All of these stores are operated by the World of Duty Free Group, so they have a large range of popular goods.

If you are buying duty free goods, then remember there are limits to the quantity of goods you can take back. If a customs officer is suspicious when you land, they can search you and take away goods that exceed the limit or request you pay duty tax on them, so do not buy more than the allowance. If you are unsure what the allowances are, take a look at our duty free page.

If you are looking for a good book to keep you entertained on your flight, or whilst you are waiting to board, there is a WH Smith's store located close to gate B25. They sell a range of popular books in English, as well as English newspapers and magazine. The store 'Relay', which is in located in the departures hall before security, is another good store to buy a newspaper or magazine. Please note that English magazines and newspaper are much more expensive in Spain. They can be up to 4 times the cost, and they do not include any free supplements or gifts like you find on accessions in the UK.
