I just came back from a transit at the Frankfurt Airport and bought a garden party. (BTW, they have a good collection of bags, scarves, agendas, wallets and accessories there.) I got a whopping 19% cash refund right away from the SA after getting the paper stamped just upstairs!

Three questions:
1) Are prices for Hermes the same across Europe?
2) Is VAT refund in Germany usually 19% or does this only apply to the Airport store?
3) Which other Hermes airport store in Europe offer the same 19% (or more) VAT refund? Coz you only get 10% VAT refund in Paris. Considering the prices of Hermes bags, 19% is a whole lot more discount!
 
VIE Hermes is just great. All the SAs are so helpful. But it is not duty free, one has to have the Global Refund stamped at Customs from the Non-Schengana area and then go to Global Refund for your money. VAT in Austria is 20%, highest in EU, but one doesnt get the entire amount back, Global Refund takes its cut.
Hermes stores in airports are not allowed to have Kellys or Birkins, but they always have a great selection of Trims, Trim IIs, etc.

JFK airport consists of 9 terminals. Some of them are domestic, some are mixed. There is H store but not in every international terminal, so I myself am interested where H is located in JFK. Used to be in #4 and / or #1, but they move airlines from here to there and some boutiques move too.
