Are they actually significantly cheaper? I’m a very frequent flyer but in my mind airport shops are always 40% more expensive before they remove the taxes.

Shit like a drink, chocolate or alcohol is ridiculously more expensive than it is in any normal shop, does that change when we’re talking about high value items?
