were off to turkey next wk cant wait. can anyone please tell me what are the duty free allowances for cigs etc coming back to uk if bought on the plane
The following site will give you detailed info; http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/arriving/arrivingnoneu.htm#1
200 per adult over 18. They will tell you a different story in duty free at the Turkish airport, BUT it's not true!

You are able to buy 200 cigs per person either in UK Duty Free or on your flight. You can then do the same coming home, Turkey Duty Free or on flight home BUT you can't bring the original purchases home too. Just stick to 200 per person to bring back into the UK and you wont go wrong
thanks very much for the replies very helpfull. just cant wait to get there now only a wk to wait now.were going to lara beach hotel concorde everyone says it is very nice our kids are very excited all you can eat all you can drink

You will have a great time at the Concorde, it is a great hotel, food is great and rooms lovely. We used to tip the waiters a £1 every few rounds. They don't expect tips at all. Hope the weather is good for you !

In all inclusive hotels in Turkey all the tips are shared ,You will see tip boxes all around in the bars ,dining roome etc ,There is no need to tip individuals as they will put it straight into the boxes ,if they do not they are subject to instant dismissal ,just put your tips into the boxes ,no set sum and you can bet your bottom dollar that someone will see you and they will know that you are a tipper and you will always get that little bit extra care and attention from them .Have a nice holiday ,you will love it .

Found this topic too which we had back in January http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=142443&hilit=duty+free
word of advice - buy cigarettes at the airport! they will more than likely be fakes in resort no matter how much they convince you they are not!!!!

anyone know how much Golden Virginia is at Bodrum duty free?
When we went to Turkey last year we came back with over 1500 I know the limit was 200 but we had no problems. Bought the first 1000 in Manchester Airport then again on plane on the way back.
Then you were lucky and may not be so lucky the next time - it's all a case of how lucky do you feel and is it worth the risk?
As long as you declare at other end no problem which we did, better to be up front about it than hiding them as they will just take them off you
When you declared them how much extra did you have to pay?
Does anyone know what the duty free allowance is going into Turkey. Thinking of buying some spirtis to drink on the balcony and have heard prices are high in resort.
