Seems crazy and therefore no duty free because that is all happening on the international "outside" the country zone. I never knew this and the no customs is worth avoiding flying another route to avoid at all costs.
I've come to loathe my own country for a lot of reasons and thankfully I am in a position where I don't really need to go there very often. It's a bit sad really. I would have liked to have a home base in a country where I don't have to worry about visas, but with the good comes the bad. It's just a shame that USA does this though. Like seriously? Sri Lanka has international travel lounges but we don't? WTF man?
The only reason I can think of why and that is everyone travelling via the USA has to pay and apply for a visa so it generates huge revenue.
