Since the 21st of last month, the Customs Act Enforcement Rules have been revised to abolish the bottle limit (previously 2 bottles) on travelers' duty-free liquor. Regardless of quantity, travelers can now bring duty-free liquor within a 2ℓ capacity and a $400 price limit.

Air Busan is offering up to a 45% discount on 34 types of liquor for customers who hesitated to purchase due to the bottle limit, and is running a "Double Discount" promotion where up to 45% discount is applied when purchasing two of certain in-flight duty-free items. This promotion is only valid for in-flight purchases during April.

A fixed monthly exchange rate will also be applied to in-flight duty-free products. This month's fixed exchange rate is set at 1,430 KRW per US dollar, which is lower than the market rate, allowing customers who have been burdened by recent exchange rate increases to enjoy in-flight duty-free shopping at a relatively reasonable price.

An Air Busan official said, "We expect the number of liquor purchasing customers to increase compared to before due to the regulation relaxation," adding, "For liquor, using in-flight or online pre-ordering and picking up on the return flight will reduce luggage at the travel destination and eliminate concerns about on-site stockouts, making it convenient and efficient."
