2013-05-06 — /travelprnews.com/ — As of immediately, passengers can shop for duty-free items at the gate, simply by using their smartphones.
Frankfurt Airport is testing a new approach to shopping at gates B5 to B9. On a wall that is designed to emulate the shelves of a duty-free shop, you can put together your personal shopping basket consisting of bestsellers, new products, or special offers. All you have to do is scan a product’s QR code with your smartphone and click to submit your order to the nearest duty-free store.
The ordered items are taken to you at the gate within 15 minutes. You don’t pay until then.
This virtual shopping opportunity also includes special offers that change every month. Their already-low duty-free prices are reduced by an additional 30%.
All passengers can take advantage of this offering at the indicated gates, regardless of their destinations.
