Your travel experience just got a significant upgrade. We are thrilled to introduce the new Kenya Airways (KQ) Duty Free website: a seamless, digital-first shopping experience designed specifically for the modern traveller.

No more rushing through the terminal to browse shelves, and no more worrying about liquid limits when transiting through international hubs. With our new platform, you can browse a world-class selection of luxury goods from the comfort of your home, and have them delivered directly to your seat when you board your flight.

Here is everything you need to know about navigating the new webstore and how our signature 72-hour pre-order system works.

How the 72-Hour Pre-Order System Works

Our platform is built around a “Shop Before You Fly” model, guaranteeing that your desired items are in stock, packed securely, and waiting for you.

  1. Check Your Flight: On the homepage, simply enter your upcoming flight details.
  2. Shop the Categories: Browse our curated collections or dive into our expansive category menus.
  3. Add to Basket: Select your items and proceed to a secure checkout.
  4. The 72-Hour Rule: You must place your order at least 72 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows our warehouse teams to pull your items, package them in Security Tamper-Evident Bags (STEBs) if needed, and coordinate with the catering trucks.
  5. In-Seat Delivery: Once you board and settle into your seat, our cabin crew will personally deliver your duty-free package to you.

Key Menus & Curated Collections

The website is divided into intuitive categories so you can find exactly what you need.

  • The Core Shop: Browse by department, including Fragrances, Skincare & Cosmetics, Alcohol, Tobacco, Watches, Jewellery, Eyewear, Electronics and Accessories.
  • Curated Collections: Looking for inspiration? Explore The Travel Easy Collection, The Gift Collection and The Kids Collection, with The Kenya Collection and our 50th Anniversary Collection coming soon.
  • Zawadi Sets: The Swahili word for gift, these pre-packaged sets are perfect for arriving with something special.

A Glimpse of True Luxury

To give you an idea of the premium selection waiting for you, here is a look at some of the top-tier items available across our core departments.

1. Fine Fragrance

Tom Ford Ombré Leather Inspired by the open desert, this supple black-leather scent is warmed with cardamom and jasmine sambac, then grounded in amber, moss and patchouli. A complex, enduring fragrance that makes an unforgettable impression, and pre-ordering ensures the bottle is reserved exclusively for you.

2. Skincare & Cosmetics

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser The Beauty Box Travel takes a toll on the skin, and this gift box answers with a complete three-step Revitalift Laser routine: a serum, a day cream and a night cream. It is a simple way to keep skin hydrated and renewed from departure to arrival, and it makes a beautiful gift too.

3. Timepieces & Watches

Rotary Pilot Chronograph A true companion for the frequent flyer. With its black dial, slide-rule scale and serrated rotating bezel in a 42 mm stainless steel case on brown leather, this aviation-inspired chronograph moves effortlessly from the boardroom to the bush.

4. Premium Spirits

Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 Year Old Whether for a special celebration on arrival or as a prestigious gift, our spirits selection is hard to beat. This benchmark blend of malts aged at least 12 years brings rich dried fruit, creamy vanilla and a gentle wisp of smoke. Secure the full litre online and bypass the weight restrictions and security hassles of the terminal.
