For airport shopping deals, Rome tops Europe's busiest airports, followed by Frankfurt and Berlin, but best buys for bags, perfumes or drink vary hugely from one hub to the next, a survey said this week.
A Dolce&Gabbana "Hobo" bag for instance can be picked up for EURO 850 (USD 1,096) at Rome airport but costs 1,245 (USD 1,605) at London's Heathrow, according to a Centre for Retail Research survey.
Britain's Gatwick and Heathrow are cheapest of all for humdrum stuff like cigarettes, perfume and alcohol, said the survey released by online shopping site Kelkoo.
