lockers at weeze airport

[herefordbull]

hi am going to weeze next wednesday but only for the day and to save carrying my hand luggage around i was wondering if there was any lockers there to store it in. also does any one know if i can bring duty free back into the uk as i've been told that they wont sell duty free to people travelling in the eu thankyou for any replies

No duty free - from the airport web site:

In duty-free shopping, a distinction is made between duty-free and travel-value.
Duty-free shopping is only possible for travellers whose destination lies outside the EU or in the Canary Islands. If your travel destination lies within the EU, you can take advantage of travel-value offers. Only duty-free tobacco goods may no longer be sold to travellers within the EU.
You will find the duty-free and travel-value shop in the departure area behind the security checkpoint

The same airport web site makes no mention of any left luggage facilities, manned or unmanned, I the assumption is there aren't any.

thankyou for your reply is there much difference between duty and travel free as i've never heard of travel free

Travel free is just the brand name of the airport shop

From memory, duty in Germany is fairly low. You may well do better in a supermarket - airports often pad prices out to a captive market. But remember the liquid restrictions in hand baggage if you buy off-airport.

It is probably an utterly infallible rule that says shopping at airports is always more expensive than at a local ordinary shop. The certain exception is if you are travelling between the EU/EEA and anywhere else: Then it is cheaper to buy in the non-EU/EEA country and then very likely (again) the local shop there is cheapest, although there are exceptions inasmuch as some countries offer availability of some goods only at the airport.
