Mission impossible? Noooooooooooo you can shop at Chanel T3 if you check in at T4

chanelbaby · Jul 19th, 2008, 08:50 AM

Frustrated with no Chanel at T4 I rang Chanel T3 to ask them about Chanel at UK airports, apparently there is only going to be a Chanel at T3 in the future.

But they said as long as you are travelling outside the EU you can shop at T3 Chanel. It legal, just have your papers with you at all times in case you are asked about your final destination.

Check in as normal at T4 and go through immigration then go towards gate 1 for flight connections, take the lift downstairs, then the internal bus to T3 departures. Give yourself plenty of time to get back though!

Good luck girls!

Just been to Heathrow on a connected flight to Hong Kong, am in T5 and have so little time and am frustrated that I can't go to T3 for the Chanel shop. My friend and I (both Chanel lovers) have decided that next time we fly from HK to London, we must book on an airline that stop at T3.

Fortunately I manage to buy the new bubble quit (in grey) when I was in Milan and the price is 20% less than the mark price in HK !

Wow thanks for posting Chanelbaby! Mission impossible indeed, what with security checks taking forever, check in queues a mile long and now this? I'd have to check in at least a day in advance for duty free lol!

Wow, good to know. I will now travel through Heathrow when going on holiday to Norway

Hmm, that should work out well since Norway is outside the EU? Do you always go to T3 for outside EU flights?
Also, how is the stock at their Chanel boutique?
