"Now you can choose Duty Free products of top international brands and those of Ukrainian manufacturers in the online catalog of UIA's partner – Duty Free Americas. Book them online in advance, pay, and get them on board at special prices," the UIA's online newsletter says.

Pre-order can be made 12 hours before an international flight or 24 hours before long-haul flights.

As UNIAN reported earlier, new norms for carry-on luggage on all UIA flights began to operate on January 15, 2019. They envisage that any additional personal items, including Duty Free packages, shall be packed as hand luggage. At the same time, most airlines allow that Duty Free goods purchased immediately before departure at the airport can be carried on board without any extra charge for additional hand luggage. This very paragraph caused the client's most dissatisfaction from the new UIA's rules.
