The more I travel, the more I wonder if I should go shopping at the mall or if I should go shopping at the airport.
I’m not kidding. Years ago, you would have laughed at me for bringing this up but today, airports have amazing stores.
JetBlue has Lacoste, Brighton and dozens of other upscale stores. USAir at Reagan International Airport has Brooks Brothers and several kiosks with interesting jewelry and accessories.
Every time I go to the airport, I think I wish I had more time to browse the shops, but I’m always rushing through, eager to catch my plane.
I never get to shop at the airport shops. You may tell me to go on my way back. But, when I try, the airport shops are already closed when I fly in.
So, here are my options — the next time I decide to go shopping, should I shop at an airport or a shopping mall?
I love the airport!!! If the stores were open I certainly would shop there and have. The mall, you're not missing anything…and what about on-line shopping..while you're flying..talk about killing two birds with one stone. If you know your destination far enough in advance you could order on-line & have it delivered to your destination. Away & a gift to yourself waiting for you. What's better than that!
Thanks for your reply! I agree. The airport may be the place to go to shop!
I find that the prices at the airport are always too high. I much prefer to shop with the in-flight magazine. Where else can you get a Harry Potter Wand, or a Lord of the Rings real elf ring? or a 2ft tall giant buddah for your backyard?
I always wanted that 2ft tall giant buddah for my backyard…. I thought I saw it at Kennedy Airport for relatively cheap….
