airport shops

Gate-area retail outlets

Airport shops are the retail stores located in airport terminals, typically selling travel essentials, snacks, souvenirs, magazines, and luxury goods.

They're notorious for high prices, justified by captive audiences and expensive leases.

Duty-free shops offer tax exemptions on certain purchases for international travelers: I grabbed a bottle of whiskey at the airport shops before my flight.
