Hot Items

Carry On Luggage
 
When travelling at Leeds Bradford Airport, passengers do not need to worry about buying duty free items that cannot be taken on board an airplane.

Passengers should take advantage of this opportunity and buy the duty free items they want without worrying about them being confiscated. With two duty free shops to choose from there is bound to be the perfect item for each passenger that passes through the departure lounge.
