The All New Look Duty Free

Aviation has come a long way since our parents first stepped foot on a plane. Now, super jumbo jets like the A380 are taking passengers to new heights.  Not just with state of the art cabins, but by re-thinking the entire flying experience. Take for instance the whole concept of Duty Free. The idea is to give passengers flying internationally a chance to stock up on some goodies–tax free–before heading outta town.  Generally the Duty Free is situated somewhere in the terminal, on your walk to your flight. Maybe sometimes there will be a catalog with Duty Free items in your seat back so you can buy stuff right on the plane. (Personally, I rarely buy duty free items because I don’t really think I end up saving too much.  But that’s just me.) Apparently a lot of others don’t subscribe to my buying habits. And that could explain why Korean Airlines has taken a huge, bold step by taking several seats out of its First Class Cabin on the A380, and replacing them with an onboard Duty Free Shop.  You heard right.  Go shopping at 38,000 feet.  Here’s a short video from YouTube that gives you a look at The All New Look Duty Free.
