Tギャラリア 沖縄 by DFS
面積10,000㎡と、日本にある免税店の中では最大の施設で、LVMHグループが運営している。 LVMHがやっているだけあって、施設は綺麗でスタイリッシュかつラグジュアリーだ。 ファッション・ジュエリー・時計・コスメティックなど140以上の海外のスーパーブランドや一流ブランドが集まっており、日本国内の小売価格より最高で30%安く購入できる。 日本国内未発売商品やDFS限定商品などもある。 店内にはゴディバのチョコレートやドリンク、アイスクリームなどが楽しめるゴディバカフェがあるので、一休みすると良い感じだ。 「Tギャラリア沖縄」は、ゆいレールの「おもろまち駅」に直結しており、那覇空港から20分とアクセスも良い。 なぜか沖縄を出る航空券を持っていれば日本人でも免税で買い物が出来てしまうのが不思議だ。 ★購入について 飛行機への搭乗2時間前までにレジで精算すれば良い。 ※5時間とか半日くらい前までに購入しなければいけない他の国の免税店よりも、かなり“ゆるくて”、便利だ。 精算時は、飛行機の搭乗日と便名を伝えるだけでよく、パスポートの提示等は必要ないのもまた“ゆるい”。 購入した品物は、那覇空港の出発ロビーにある「DFS商品受取カウンター」で受け取る形だが、その際にはDFSで作ったショッピングカードと搭乗券を見せる必要がある。

伊丹空港(大阪国際空港)
伊丹空港は、関西空港が出来るまでは国際空港だったが、今では国内線専用の空港となっている。 未だに日本国内の主だった都市34との間に航空路線がある。 利用できる航空会社、就航都市、時刻表については以下を参照してくれ。 伊丹空港・フライトスケジュール 運行頻度に関して言うと、東京(羽田・成田)へは1日約25便、福岡へは約10便、沖縄(那覇)へは約8便と多くの都市へ割合高い頻度で飛んでいる。 ただ、伊丹空港へはLCCが飛んでいないので航空チケットも高いのが難点だ。 伊丹空港は、大阪駅から北に大体10kmほどのところに位置しており、大阪市内中心部や京都などに行くには関西空港よりも伊丹空港の方が近い。
