Duty free in BOS Terminal B with short opening window
This Dufry Duty Free in Terminal B runs limited hours, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., so plan your visit around an afternoon or early evening departure. It sits airside in T-B, aimed at international and Caribbean traffic leaving from this concourse. If your flight is earlier in the day, this shop simply won’t be open.
Think standard duty-free mix: liquor, tobacco, perfume, skincare, chocolates, and logo gifts, all sold tax free to eligible international travelers from Terminal B. Prices on spirits and cigarettes usually beat downtown Boston by a noticeable margin, especially on multi-bottle packs and travel exclusives. Stock is more focused than the huge Dufry in Terminal E, but you can still grab last-minute gifts and bigger ticket bottles.
Hours are fixed at 2p–8p, so expect some lines around the 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. departure banks when multiple flights board at once. Staff typically process passports quickly, but you still want 10 extra minutes if you are buying alcohol or tobacco before an international departure from B. If you only need cosmetics or candy, you can move through faster with a smaller basket.
Tip: check your gate on the BOS app before walking over; if your flight leaves from far end B38–B40, hit Dufry on the way out to the gate so you’re not backtracking with duty-free bags right before boarding during the 2p–8p window.
