Duty Free on Domestic legs of international?

[fiBer]

If you take QF8 BNE-SYD, would anyone stop you buying duty free because you haven't come from an international destination?

Yes because you have to show your boarding pass and passengers on domestic segments will have a bright D sticker attached to the boarding pass.

So no on the duty free.

There are several layers of security. But... Even if you manage to get through them the risk of having your bag xrayed does exist and it would be painful to explain...

Does lead to conjecture as to what would happen if you purchased it to consume within the duty free zone

All duty free seem to do is ask what flight you have arrived on not to see a BP, just make sure there are other international flights that arrive the same time. When you have purchased duty free, place it in you carryon luggage so customs cannot see the big green bad.

Clear customs, don't think i have ever seen customs inspect a bag on a "D" leg.

Not really, there is a rule (or at least once was) which they brought in to sort out this problem for international cruise ships which go to a few different Australian domestic ports (and thus some pax are dom only), where by it was decided any purchase of a drink could only be in a qty which was suitable for drinking immediately. (Basically it was placed into a too hard bucket to collect tax from dom pax but not int pax).

Bottles could not be purchased. So if you are a dom pax flying out of int airport, you could drink yourself silly at the bar at DF prices, but you could not buy unopened bottles, even if the intention was to drink them prior to flying.
