<p id="2iRGFz">Traveling through <a href="http://www.miami-airport.com/">Miami’s airport</a> isn’t always the best — chaos, delays, patience-defying lines. But there is one saving grace: the shopping.</p>
<p id="4HxbEm">MIA offers every variety of shop, from high-end labels to local souvenirs. And each terminal has a location of Duty Free Americas, which offers an impressive selection of fashion, accessory and beauty products, whether it’s a Longchamp tote, Victoria’s Secret gear, or Shiseido makeup.</p>
<h4 id="XmwMFe">Terminal D</h4>
<p id="EHFLgh">Not surprisingly, the airport’s largest terminal offers the best shops: British shirtmaker <strong>Thomas Pink</strong> opened its first North American airport shop here; plus, you’ll find outposts from <strong>Penguin</strong> (for preppy basics), <strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong>, <strong>Emporio Armani</strong>, and <strong>Montblanc</strong>. There’s also a gallery where you can pick up colorful paintings by local artist <strong>Romero Britto</strong>.</p>
<p id="f7n6VX">Local society magazine Ocean Drive has a branded mini department store in this terminal called <strong>Shoppes at Ocean Drive</strong>, which is stocked with Jimmy Choo sunglasses, Adidas sports gear, and gourmet foods.</p>

<h4 id="peGKLO">North Terminals: E, F, G</h4>
<p id="T9X3Da">This section of MIA has a smaller shopping scope than the rest of the airport, but in Terminal E you can find a <strong>Sunglass Hut</strong> and <strong>Havana Nines</strong>, a Florida-based menswear store dedicated to island-ready shirts and shorts. You can also pick up a swimwear at <strong>Ron Jon Surf Shop</strong> in Terminal G.</p>
<h4 id="lZwJ0j">West Terminals: H, J</h4>
<p id="gnTPHs">Terminal H is a good bet for popular mid-range brands like <strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong>, <strong>Tommy Hilfiger</strong>, <strong>Michael Kors</strong>, and <strong>L’Occitane</strong>. <strong>Navarro Pharmacy</strong>, a local chain that is now part of CVS, claims to cater to South Florida’s Latino community and sells designer fragrance and other skincare products from drugstore makers like Neutrogena.</p>
<p id="JJj0lp">Terminal J is more promising still with stores like <strong>MAC</strong>, <strong>Coach</strong>, <strong>Brookstone</strong>, <strong>Desigual</strong> (the Spanish brand with a penchant for not-always-great wild prints), <strong>Hugo Boss</strong>, and <strong>Tumi</strong>.</p>

<p id="X495x3">The JFK airport is huge. If you’ve got a lot of time to kill that means plenty of opportunities for browsing or picking up last-minutes items for your travels, but unless you’re ticketed for a connection, that also means sticking to the shops in your terminal.</p>
<p id="dX9Z88">Thankfully, there are plenty of stores within most of terminals, plus convenient (and cute) kiosks from brands like Benefit, the Honest Company, and Essie. It goes without saying, but if you’re flying international, the (several) duty free shops found at JFK are top rate for beauty buys.</p>
<h3 id="4Ue3Ii">The Standouts</h3>
<h4 id="t3ztlF">Muji To Go</h4>
<p id="LN9fYr">This <a href="http://www.muji.com/us/">Japanese brand</a>’s Terminal 5 boutique is almost reason in and of itself to fly JetBlue. Known for organizational cases, office goods, and simple clothing, Muji’s travel focused airport outposts stock minimalist-style items designed to keep you comfortable and organized while away from home: matching nesting travel cases for toiletries and other essentials, soft striped neck pillows, fold-up windbreakers, alarm clocks, extra socks, and much more. (You can even pick up Japanese snacks like fried squid.)<em> Terminal 5, in the marketplace</em></p>

</p>
<h4 id="aNVCkH">Victoria’s Secret</h4>
<p id="oEvhBd">Even if you remembered to pack your underwear, it’s nice to see a familiar and reliable brand like Victoria’s Secret in the airport. This lingerie favorite has three stores in JFK, and they all stock a pretty full range of everyday undies, pajamas, lingerie, workout gear, and bath and body products.<em> Terminals 1, 4, and 8</em></p>
<h4 id="oEllXW">The Honest Company Kiosks</h4>
<p id="Xycisi">Jessica Alba’s healthy lifestyle brand may be <a href="http://www.racked.com/2016/4/27/11518654/jessica-alba-honest-company-lawsuits">facing some allegations</a> about transparency, but the Honest Company’s airport kiosks are super helpful for traveling families. The fancy vending machines stock travel sets that bundle items like natural toothpaste with lotion and packages of baby wipes with diapers, as well as single items that range from aluminum-free deodorant to baby swim trunks. <em>Terminals 5 and 7; post-security</em></p>
<h4 id="ec5Az2">Benefit Cosmetics "Glam Up & Away" Kiosks</h4>
<p id="SYazf2">This beauty brand’s airport kiosks — designed to look like vintage pink busses — feature TSA-friendly travel sets plus some of Benefit’s most popular products, including <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=nOD%2FrLJHOac&mid=2417&u1=racked&murl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fthey-re-real-lengthening-volumizing-mascara-P289307" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">They're Real! mascara</a> and <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=nOD%2FrLJHOac&mid=2417&u1=racked&murl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fwatt-s-up-cream-to-powder-highlighter-P295206" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Watt's Up! highlighter</a> (which can work real wonders on a post-flight complexion). <em>Terminal 5; post-security between gates 9 and 10; and opposite gate 23</em></p>
<h4 id="204g02">Hermes</h4>
<p id="6P8sMT">Whether you have the budget for it or you’re just doing some window shopping, the small Hermes store in Terminal 1 is as elegant as you’d expect it to be, with shelves of silk ties, scarves in iconic prints, small leather goods, sweet-smelling perfumes, and shiny cufflinks. <em>Terminal 1; post-security, gate 5</em></p>
<h4 id="EfPOk4">Metropolitan Museum of Art Store</h4>
<p id="mLz6WI">The Met’s airport gift shops feature the same artsy items you may have browsed at the shop within the museum: pretty printed scarves, jewelry, well-designed items for the home, and plenty of toys and books for kids. <em>Terminal 4; post-security, retail hall</em></p>
<h3 id="1gU4Nx">By Terminal</h3>
<h4 id="LG2Sxd">Terminal 1</h4>
<p id="ecuKlF">If you’re looking for a fancy gifts or expensive impulse buy, you’re in luck. Terminal 1 is full of designer accessories shops like <strong>Cartier</strong>, <strong>Bvlgari</strong>, <strong>Hermes</strong>, and <strong>Salvatore Ferragamo</strong>; head to <strong>Coach</strong> or <strong>Michael Kors</strong> if you’re trying to stick to a budget.</p>
<p id="muQWb9"><strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong> is great for browsing or picking up forgotten essentials, and while <strong>Juicy Couture</strong> has disappeared from most department stores (not for long thanks to Bloomingdale’s) you can still find it at JFK, right in this terminal. A combination <strong>Clinique/ Estee Lauder </strong>store, the <strong>L'Occitane</strong> kiosk, and a big <strong>duty free</strong> shop have you covered if you’re looking to update a few items in your toiletry case.</p>
<figure class="e-image">

<h4 id="lL0qmF">Terminal 2</h4>
<p id="nq5Hhc">Sorry. If you’re flying out of Terminal 2, your best bet is to pick up new headphones at the <strong>Best Buy</strong> kiosk or a burrito bowl at Qdoba.</p>
<h4 id="1Maehs">Terminal 4</h4>
<p id="uL3i2E">This international terminal is great for beauty hounds: There’s a massive <strong>duty free shop </strong>in addition to dedicated storefronts for <strong>Jo Malone</strong>, <strong>MAC</strong>, and <strong>Kiehl’s</strong>. There are lots of options for accessories in particular (you can pick up bags at <strong>Coach</strong>, <strong>Michael Kors</strong>, and<strong> Longchamp</strong>, or jewelry at <strong>Swarowski</strong> and <strong>Bijoux Terner</strong>).</p>
<p>You'll find another outpost of <strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong> here, and the <strong>Metropolitan Museum of Art Store</strong> is a great place to look for gifts. If you’re in the market for menswear (or just a good browse) you might as well hit up <strong>Hugo Boss</strong> and British shirting shop <strong>Thomas Pink</strong>.</p>
<h4 id="wahcpd">Terminal 5</h4>
<p id="pMDYDm">Jet Blue’s terminal features lots of kiosks for swift shopping from the likes of <strong>Benefit</strong>, <strong>Essie </strong>(with 42 nail polish shades plus seasonal colors), <strong>Amazon</strong>, and <strong>Best Buy</strong>. Stand-alone shops include <strong>Lacoste</strong>, <strong>Ron Jon Surf Shop</strong> (for swimwear), <strong>Taxco Sterling</strong> (for handmade jewelry), and the must-visit <strong>MUJI to Go</strong>.</p>
<h4 id="w0umDM">Terminal 7</h4>
<p id="NhDGod">Terminal 7 feels a bit like a mall, with <strong>Coach</strong>, <strong>Juicy Couture</strong>, <strong>Mont Blanc</strong>, <strong>Thomas Pink</strong>, <strong>Longchamp</strong>, and <strong>Michael Kors</strong> dominating the retail options. There’s also one of the <strong>Honest Company</strong>’s kiosks if you want natural alternatives to the drugstore items stocked in Hudson News.</p>

<h4 id="2DhhuW">Terminal 8</h4>
<p id="r1Q678">This terminal’s retail map is also pretty heavy on the accessories, with <strong>Pandora</strong>, <strong>Swatch</strong>, and <strong>Solstice Sunglass Boutique</strong>. For beauty, check out the <strong>duty free shop</strong> as well as <strong>L’Occitane</strong>. Another outpost of <strong>the Met’s gift shop</strong> is located here, as are <strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong>, <strong>Brook’s Brothers</strong>, and <strong>Porsche Design</strong> for apparel, plus <strong>iStore</strong> and <strong>Brookstone</strong> for electronics.</p>

<p id="4CcZth">As one of America’s busiest airports, <a href="http://www.flychicago.com/">Chicago O’Hare</a> is fabulously equipped with opportunities to accommodate travelers looking to window shop or drop some dough. Terminal 5 has a lot of the marquee labels and Terminal 3 have the most stores, but overall, shopping is spread across the entire airport.</p>
<h4 id="yiis0H">The Field Museum Store</h4>
<p id="S7B7u2">Fun decorative items like terracotta warrior statues inspired by the Chicago museum’s exhibit, origami books, pearl drop earrings, and much more can be found inside two locations within the airport. (And pricing runs the gamut, too. While the replica statues are affordable, those pearl earrings are $500.) <em>Terminal 1, concourse B, gate B8; Terminal 3, concourse K, gate K1</em></p>
<h4 id="gLXQV0">Love from Chicago</h4>
<p id="hRZRbg">This souvenir shop is brimming with knick knacks like thimbles, spoons, and keychain designed with either the word Chicago or with a recognizable local attraction like The Bean. But you can find some actually cool souvenirs among the crap, like a selection of Minnetonka moccasins.<em> Terminal 5, concourse M, gate M7</em></p>
<h4 id="FUN1z6">Emporio Armani</h4>
<p id="yn4rzu">Armani’s second-tier clothing and accessory label for men and women is great for directional fashion without the high-fashion price tag. Browse the floral Palazzo pants and bold-print blazers or snag some well-made basics, like a LBD or a Saffiano leather purse. <em>Terminal 5, concourse M, gate M8</em></p>
<h4 id="G0Gfom">MAC</h4>
<p id="pp5oaH">Head to Mac for a wide selection of lipsticks and other cosmetics that will last longer than your flight. If you’ve really got some time to kill — or you’re heading to an event on the other side — one of the knowledgeable staff members can do your full makeup. <em>Terminal 2; Main Hall</em></p>
<h4 id="B5CUKi">Other Shops to Note</h4>
<p id="PC422C">Head to <strong>Coach </strong>(Terminal 2, Main Hall<em>) </em>for colorful wristlets, on-trend handbags, classic leather wallets. You can also shop accessories at <strong>Michael Kors </strong>(Terminal 5, concourse M, gate M8), <strong>Salvatore Ferragamo </strong>(Terminal 5, concourse M, gate M8), and <strong>Mont Blanc </strong>(Terminal 3, concourse K, gate K2), or browse men’s and women’s apparel at <strong>Johnston & Murphy </strong>(Terminal 1, concourse B, gate B6).</p>

<p id="gaLHTu">America’s <a href="http://www.lawa.org/welcomeLAX.aspx">third busiest airport</a> has plenty of retail options for last minute purchases before you fly, or killing time should your flight get delayed. Some of the shops here are huge: Bvlgari, for example, is over 1,000 square feet, while Fred Segal is over 2,000.</p>
<p id="tbLDsF">Airport development company Westfield has added several shops to the airport’s lineup over the past few years, while United and Southwest Airlines are both investing hundreds of millions of dollars into airport renovations. The Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) in particular has great options, featuring a number of the same shops that line Rodeo Drive.</p>
<h3 id="MfWzNL">The Standouts</h3>
<h4 id="3ohuAm">M. Fredric</h4>
<p id="5IHQen">This mini version of the <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1514733&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mfredric.com%2F&referrer=racked.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.racked.com%2F2016%2F7%2F1%2F12080956%2Flax-airport-shopping" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LA-based chain of boutiques</a> is dedicated to grab-and-go contemporary fashions (there are no dressing rooms, after all) from SoCal favorite brands like Michael Stars, Wildfox, and Elan. <em>Terminal 6; departure level</em></p>
<h4 id="BaD7BT">Fred Segal</h4>
<p id="KmOLvv">Another local favorite, <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1514733&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fredsegal.com%2F&referrer=racked.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.racked.com%2F2016%2F7%2F1%2F12080956%2Flax-airport-shopping" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fred Segal</a>’s huge airport store carries the same hip brands you’d find in its famous Los Angeles shops. Claire Vivier’s minimalist and buttery soft leather bags share shelf space with local skincare brands like OSEA Malibu and Baxter of California. <em>TBIT; Great Hall</em></p>

</p>
<h4 id="7wLllZ">Rip Curl</h4>
<p id="eAGJcX">This surf-and-swim Australian brand is great if you’re heading for a beach vacation and want to add to whatever is already in your suitcase. The apparel selection isn’t necessarily the best but there are lots of brightly patterned trunks and bikinis, plus sunglasses and sunscreen, too. <em>Terminal 5; departure level</em></p>
<h4 id="aXazlt">Victoria’s Secret</h4>
<p id="LaeZWk">Whether you forgot to pack underwear or just want to pick up something extra like PJs, athletic wear, or lingerie, Victoria’s Secret has you covered. The airport shop also stocks the brand’s bath and body products if you need to grab lotion or lip gloss. <em>TBIT; Great Hall</em></p>
<h4 id="uyGNro">Bliss</h4>
<p id="ateMbj">This brands great-smelling (and well packaged) body lotions are pretty effective, and the TSA-approved travel-size shampoos, cleansers, and more make the shop a good place to stop if you’ve forgotten something at home. Or you can just pass through for the gratis mini facials. <em>TBIT; South Concourse</em></p>

<h3 id="X7e0lB">Shops by Terminal</h3>
<h4 id="Is1vp7">TBIT</h4>
<p id="Q5qUEr">Like most airports, LAX’s international terminal houses the fanciest shops. To name a few, this terminal has <strong>Coach</strong>, <strong>Bvlgari</strong>, <strong>Emporio Armani,</strong> <strong>Fred Segal</strong>, <strong>Michael Kors</strong>, <strong>Porsche Design</strong>, and <strong>Hugo Boss</strong>.</p>
<p id="B5Pgmt">Not quite as high-end, but <strong>Sanrio</strong> (the company that produces Hello Kitty paraphernalia), <b>Bliss</b>, and <strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong> are located here, too. Bonus: The <strong>duty free shop</strong>’s Jo Malone section is known to give out free hand massages.</p>
<h4 id="7XRYB9">Terminals 1–4</h4>
<p id="QfKEpq">LAX’s smaller terminals are a bit short-changed on the shopping. In Terminal 1, pop into <strong>Be Relax </strong>— a makeshift spa — for nice-looking headphones and eye masks, or <b>Sol Surf </b>for swimwear. Terminal 2 has a <strong>Spanx</strong>, while Terminal 4 has a <strong>Sunglass Hut</strong>.</p>
<h4 id="KfKtz4">Terminals 5–8</h4>
<p id="urFj9K">The store directories at Terminals 5–8 are slightly more fleshed out (thankfully). Five is home to <strong>Rip Curl</strong>, a swim and surf retailer. <strong>The Mattel Experience</strong> store has a lot of the toymaker’s famed creations (but you’re really coming here to look at all the Barbies). Terminal 6 has a <strong>MAC</strong>, <strong>Belkin</strong> (for well designed gadgets), and an outpost of LA’s trendy boutique <strong>M. Fredric</strong>. Terminal 7 has a <strong>Hugo Boss</strong> satellite and a shop dedicated to <strong>Harley Davidson</strong> merch.</p>

<p id="HDXttR"><a href="http://www.atlanta-airport.com/">Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International </a>Airport’s shopping scene is so big, you might forget you’re actually in an airport and not a mall.

<h3 id="CbPAlE">The Standouts</h3>
<h4 id="mfDy9D">Lather</h4>
<p id="321Qk0">There are only five standalone stores of this <a target="_blank" href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1514733&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lather.com%2F&referrer=racked.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.racked.com%2F2016%2F7%2F1%2F12077984%2Fatl-airport-shopping" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener">Pasadena-based personal care company</a> in the country, and one of them is inside this airport.

<h4 id="3h24rT">Spanx</h4>
<p id="WXbS6c">The lingerie brand known for its lacy, one-size-fits-all thongs is based in Atlanta. In addition to the undies and shapewear, Spanx also carries on-trend body suits and <a href="http://www.racked.com/2016/1/5/10717084/spanx-athleisure-everywear-pants#6246593">airplane-friendly leggings</a> that were introduced earlier this year. <em>Concourse E</em></p>
<h4 id="OgQxfi">Ermenegildo Zegna</h4>
<p id="0zxI7L">This luxury menswear brand from Italy is a nice surprise. It doesn’t have many stores in the US to begin with and certainly, it’s rare to find one inside an airport. The ATL location carries tailored shirts and trousers, sharp ties, and more. <em>Concourse A; center</em></p>

<h3 id="2JfUA0">Shops By Concourse</h3>
<h4 id="mE0jGd">Concourse F (International)</h4>
<p id="VY1q4k">As far as international terminals go, this one isn’t huge (though there is an interfaith chapel). But there is a pretty good selection of national fashion and beauty brands to pop into if you have the time: <strong>Michael Kors</strong>, <strong>Tommy Hilfiger</strong>, <strong>The Body Shop</strong>, <strong>Montblanc</strong>, <strong>MAC</strong>, <strong>Kiehl’s</strong>, and <strong>Coach</strong>.</p>
<h4 id="lUCWWi">Concourses A–D</h4>

B has a <strong>Kiehl’s</strong> and <strong>the Beauty Lounge</strong> for bath and body products, <strong>Taxco Sterling</strong> for jewelry, and a <strong>Sean John</strong>, which is P. Diddy’s contemporary menswear line.</p>
<p id="QZhwR3">Concourse C isn’t quite as exciting, but there is still a <strong>Brookstone</strong> store and a kiosk by Jessica Alba’s healthy lifestyle brand <strong>the Honest Company</strong> (which stocks personal care and family-friendly goods like diaper and wipes sets and aluminum-free deodorant).</p>
<p id="J6JzVT">Terminal D has both of these options plus a <strong>Taxco Sterling</strong>, <strong>Benefit Cosmetics</strong> kiosk, <strong>Swarovski</strong>, and a <strong>Johnston & Murphy</strong> (men’s and women’s apparel).</p>
<h4 id="5u7dDQ">Concourses E & T</h4>

<p id="Bq5Kus">As far as airport shopping in the US goes, San Francisco’s offerings have been top notch for for years, with tenants like Gucci, Burberry, and Hermes hanging out in the international terminal. A recent multi-million dollar renovation to Terminal 3 lifted SFO’s retail cache even more, adding Tom Ford, Jo Malone, 100% Pure, and more stores to the directory.</p>
<h3 id="bt8s6t">The Standouts</h3>
<h4 id="dKPH0i">Gucci</h4>
<p><span>When it opened over 10 years ago, the Gucci store inside SFO was the first luxury boutique inside a US airport. The fashion label’s airport locations are accessory-focused, so expect logo handbags, leather wallets, shoes, sunglasses, and cell phone cases.</span><span> </span><em style="line-height: 1.44; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;">International Terminal, near gate A1 and G92</em></p>
<h4>100% Pure</h4>
<p id="Zq86y1">This Berkeley-based beauty company makes organic, all-natural products for the whole body. Check out the fruit-dyed lipsticks, eye cream with jasmine tea, toxin-free nail polish, and volumizing shampoo with mint and kelp. <em>Terminal 3, near gate 74</em></p>
<p> <figure class="e-image">

</p>
<h4 id="qQwYcl">Burberry</h4>
<p id="vMr92G">Both locations inside the International Terminal have a nice selection of iconic products from this British designer, from purses to trench coats. <em>International Terminal, near gate A5 and G91</em></p>
<h4 id="pZy5zq">SF Moma Museum Store</h4>
<p id="L3IZOg">The best airport storefront for a last-minute gift, the design-y selection here ranges from the whimsical (toy soldiers doing yoga) to practical (sculptural reading lamps). There are also mugs and totes with artsy illustrations, minimalist leather-strapped watches, and canvas backpacks for carrying all that loot to your next destination. <em>International Terminal, pre-security main hall</em></p>
<h4 id="atgULP">Mango</h4>
<p id="LsqKr9">It’s not that common to find an everyday apparel brand you would actually seek out in real life inside an airport, but SFO has you covered with not one but two outposts of this Spanish fast fashion brand. Head here for basics you forgot, or a something trendy for your trip. <em>Terminal 2, near boarding area D; Terminal 3, near the entrance to Gates 80–90</em></p>

<h3 id="w6TvW7">Shops by Terminal</h3>
<h4 id="Hg19fD">Terminals 1 and 2</h4>
<p id="UEn0TN">Unfortunately, these two terminals offer a limited shopping opportunities. Terminal 1 has your typical book and magazine outlets and a <strong>Best Buy</strong> electronic kiosk. 2 is only slightly better with a <strong>Kiehl’s</strong>, <strong>Mango</strong>, and <strong>Mosaic Gallery</strong>, where you can pick up crafty looking home goods.</p>
<h4 id="GznWhN">Terminal 3</h4>
<p id="6nsHQ2">This terminal has a more robust retail selection: Check out organic skincare at <strong>100% Pure</strong>, locally designed jewelry at <strong>Boucle</strong>, high-end beauty products from the combination <strong>Jo Malone/Tom Ford/Aveda</strong> package near gate 70. There are also trendy fashions at <strong>Mango</strong>, and if you need some new shades there’s a <strong>Sunglass Hut</strong>.</p>
<h4 id="Ot16m6">International Terminal</h4>
<p id="SelH29">This is really where the serious shopping can be done, especially if you’re into brand-name accessories. <strong>Coach</strong>, <strong>Burberry</strong>, and <strong>Gucci</strong> all have two retail outlets in this terminal, plus there outposts of <strong>Hermes</strong> and <strong>Swarovski</strong>. Head to San Francisco’s <b>MoMA shop</b> for gifts, or check out one of the several <strong>duty free stores</strong> spread out through the terminal for beauty products and more accessories.</p>

<p id="pjj3S4">Portland’s reputation as an <a href="http://www.racked.com/maps/best-shopping-in-portland-oregon-boutiques">artisanal retail shopping destination </a>holds up even in the airport. Many shops are local, and it should come as no surprise that there are also some great outdoorsy options like Columbia and Nike (which technically qualifies as local too, because it was founded by two Oregonians).</p>
<p id="tIwolG">And if you find yourself admiring the turquoise printed carpet, you’re not the only one. While the original was replaced last year, the <a href="http://www.pdxcarpet.com/">PDX carpet</a> with a cult following has inspired many a clothing item, from flannels to bike helmets to <a href="https://adidas.njih.net/c/482924/264102/4270?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adidas.com%2Fus%2Fd-lillard-pdx-carpet-shoe%2FS49861.html&sharedid=racked.com" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Adidas sneakers</a> to socks — which you can pick up in the airport, too.</p>
<h4 id="MhjVuG">Pendleton</h4>
<p id="sExnEy">Oregon’s iconic wool purveyor’s airport address is a great stop for mementos or gifts before heading home. The cozy wool blankets will last forever, and the tartan flannels embody both classic Oregon and hipster Portland style. In addition to the apparel and blankets, check out the beach towels woven in the brand’s iconic patterns. <em>Oregon Marketplace, pre-security near Terminal A/B/C entrance</em></p>

<h4 id="vwnD6j">Powell’s</h4>
<p id="VAB96h">The original downtown location of this <a href="http://www.powells.com/">beloved bookstore</a> is a must-visit for any Portland first-timers, but if you missed it you get a second chance in the airport. And if you already happened to finish a book during your trip, it’s good to note that you can sell your used books here, too. <em>Oregon Marketplace, pre-security near Terminal A/B/C entrance</em></p>
<h4 id="3JeFu8">Nike</h4>
<p id="uvJ3u6">At nearly 1,500-sq-ft, this Nike store is pretty big for an airport shop. The outpost fills all that space with a wide range of Nike’s various categories, from fashion sneakers and running shorts to football jerseys and stylish windbreakers (which you might actually need, given that you’re in the Pacific Northwest). <em>Oregon Marketplace, pre-security near Terminal A/B/C entrance</em></p>
<h4 id="rzCu2Z">Columbia Sportswear</h4>
<p id="UitypQ">There’s something for just about any sport and outdoor activity here, from those thin, quick-dry layering pieces for running or cycling to a coats for the slopes. Bonus: The store is outfitted with user-friendly touchscreen kiosks that provide additional info on every product. <em>Oregon Marketplace, pre-security near Terminal A/B/C entrance</em></p>

<h4 id="TE8k7A">Kiehl’s</h4>
<p id="EpTj5a">This stylish apothecary brand’s small PDX outpost is well-stocked with the essentials: SPF lip balm, oil-free moisturizers, and super popular Creme de Corp body lotion, which can really come in handy when you’re stuck in notoriously dry airport cabins. <em>South Lobby, post-security</em></p>
<h4 id="p3jzXF">Made in Oregon</h4>
<p id="X5O0mo">Made in Oregon has three locations inside PDX (in addition to a handful of shops throughout the city), all of which carry a selection of local curiosities like soaps made from hops, antique-looking jewelry, Pendleton wools, and those socks made in homage to the airport’s carpet. <em>Oregon Market, pre-security; Concourse C and D, post-security</em></p>
<h4 id="kCPq3L">Dragon Tree</h4>
<p id="pRaokw">If flying stresses you out, head to this spa before boarding for a quick treatment, or grab some of the locally made bath and body products — many of which feature stress-relieving natural ingredients like rosemary, lavender, and peppermint. <em>Concourse C, post-security</em></p>
<h4 id="WyGaky">Other Shops to Note</h4>
<p id="eAfDtc">Check out <strong>House Spirits Distillery</strong> (Concourse C) for locally made spirits; <strong>the</strong> <strong>Real Mother Goose</strong> (Oregon Market) for locally made ceramics, glass art, and jewelry; <strong>Brookstone</strong> (Oregon Market, South Lobby) for last-minute travel needs like headphones and neck pillows; <strong>Metalsmiths Sterling </strong>(Concourse C) for jewelry; and <strong>cc Mckenzie </strong>(Concourse C, Oregon Market, South Lobby) for shoes including brands like Frye.</p>

<p id="vJDmVO">The industrial city of Pittsburgh has emerged as a travel destination over the past few years (with plenty of <a href="http://www.eater.com/2015/7/17/8963467/pittsburgh-restaurant-destination-food-town">cool restaurants</a> and a new <a href="https://www.acehotel.com/pittsburgh">Ace Hotel</a> to prove it). The Pittsburgh International Airport hasn’t totally followed suit with the shopping options — most are national brands rather than hip, local shops — but still, there are some surprisingly decent opportunities for browsing, shopping for gifts, or picking up any essentials you forgot to pack.</p>
<p id="LhIa3X">Most boutiques are located in the "Center Core" area right in the middle of the airport, so you don’t have to worry about walking too far from your gate.</p>
<h4 id="ic9OSc">Furla</h4>
<p id="SBqkJA">Italian accessories maker Furla hits the same trends and shapes as the It bag brands — candy-colored bucket bags, satchels, and crossbodies — without requiring next month’s rent. The wide selection of mini bags are especially tempting as airport impulse buys, and will only run you between $178 and $450. <em>Airside Terminal; Center Core</em></p>
<h4 id="qTBXIp">Collezioni – The Beauty Gallery</h4>
<p id="fQ2oDw">This beauty emporium carries hundreds of brands and products, so whether you left a few essentials out of your carry-on luggage and want to replace them with something better (Bliss soap, Fekkai shampoo) or simply want to pick up some extras (OPI nail polish) you can do so here. <em>Airside Terminal; Center Core</em></p>

</figure>
<h4 id="zIvERX">Knicker</h4>
<p id="IyCNco">What’s worse than forgetting your underwear during a trip? Nothing. Knicker carries every under garment, from boxers to sports bras to robes. It also happens to stock a lot of Calvin Klein, and those logo bras and bikini-cut panties have become pretty trendy in the past few years. <em>Airside Terminal; Center Core</em></p>
<h4 id="CKRkkN">Nine West</h4>
<p id="Tjc6zj">Affordable, reliable, and with some surprisingly on-trend options, the airport outpost of Nine West is worth a browse. In addition to shoes, the shop also carries bags and other accessories. <em>Airside Terminal; Center Core</em></p>
<h4 id="XHhQ3U">FlyBy Sports</h4>
<p id="wqTHrP">Forgot to pack your running sneakers, or finally decided to embrace the athleisure trend now that you’re about to be stuck on a plane? Head to this fitness outpost, which stocks athletic wear and shoes for men, women, and children. <em>Airside Terminal; Center Core</em></p>
<figure class="e-image">

<cite>Photo: Pittsburgh International Airport</cite>
</figure>
<h4 id="H9lH1m">Armani Jeans</h4>
<p id="a7e5v8">While Armani Jeans probably isn’t your favorite label, if you pop in to kill some time while stuck in the airport you might find a few surprises: silky tops, denim button-ups, sleek leather (and faux leather) jackets, and of course, jeans. The current dress selection in particular has some good options, including cotton poplin shirt dresses and printed rompers. <em>Airside Terminal; Center Core</em></p>
<h4 id="aRgJHA">Other Shops to Note</h4>
<p id="kKq6LX">While the highlights above are your best bets, you’ll also find some other shops in the Center Core, including <strong>Brooks Brothers</strong> and <strong>Hugo Boss</strong> for menswear; <strong>Brookstone</strong> for travel-related goods and electronics; <strong>Johnston & Murphy, Lacoste,</strong> and <strong>Desigual</strong> for men’s and women’s apparel; and several options for jewelry including <strong>Pandora</strong>. There are also a few outposts you might want to know about elsewhere, including <strong>Best Buy Kiosks</strong> (Concourses A and B) for headphones and other electronics, and <strong>Paradies Travel Mart</strong> (Concourse A, the Center Core, and baggage claim) for souvenirs and small gifts.</p>

<p id="9p4dYE">Unlike bigger airports, the stores inside Austin–Bergstrom International Airport are more locally minded, making them ideal stops for last-minute souvenirs from your trip (that is, if you didn’t already go crazy at <a href="http://www.racked.com/maps/best-shopping-in-austin-texas">Austin’s best shops and boutiques</a>).</p>
<p id="QBsToB">Because the airport is not a major connection hub, most people traveling through can just relax and enjoy the shopping — even when you have a super early flight, as most shops open around 5:00 AM.</p>
<h4 id="9pyIel">Austin City Limits / Waterloo Records</h4>
<p id="EWHvYz">In addition to tapings and recordings of performances the <a href="http://austincitylimits.com/">annual music festival</a> of the same name, this store sells concert t-shirts, trucker hats, key chains, and more. <em>Near gate 15</em></p>
<h4 id="ZKufJ4">Benefit Cosmetics Kiosk</h4>

The kiosks stock a limited collection of the beauty brand’s most popular products, including mascara, pore-minimizing primers, lipsticks, and concealer. <em>Two locations; near gates 5 and 14</em></p>
<h4 id="0TsUB4">Austin Warehouse District</h4>
<p id="xIwMuL">This all-Texas shop is not going to wow you with the most cleverly designed products, but it’s a great stop for browsing or picking up a kitschy souvenir, like short-shorts boasting the colors of the Texas flag and one of those ubiquitous "Keep Austin Weird" t-shirts. <em>Near gate 9</em></p>
<h4 id="zSHeFs">The Salt Lick Bar-B-Que</h4>
<p id="ArH2H6">The Austin airport location of this <a href="http://saltlickbbq.com/">famous Texas barbecue joint</a> sells merch on top of serving food, but you can also buy meat, dry rub, and gift sets or single bottles of their tasty BBQ sauce to take home. <em>Near gate 10</em></p>
<h4 id="vynyg9">Other Shops to Note</h4>
<p id="TteBk6">Head to <strong>Austin Article</strong> (gate 8) and <strong>Barton Springs Dry Goods</strong> (gate 18) to browse more souvenirs. If you need headphones or other electronics, the <strong>Best Buy </strong>kiosk is located near gate 5.</p>

<p id="PHFHOe">The <a href="https://www.mspairport.com">Twin Cities’ airport</a> offers a good mix of stores with national and local provenance and relatively long hours — most shops open at 7AM and close up around 9:30PM.</p>
<p id="9mwSkd">The airport is divided into two terminals, and right now all the best shops are located in the much bigger Terminal 1. But MSP is undergoing a massive retail expansion this year, which will mean additional stores in both terminals soon.</p>
<h4 id="fuLF2J">Uptown Minnesota</h4>
<p id="ukMcy4">This gift shop stocks a range of products created by local artisans and artists, like mix-media jewelry by Realia by Jen and greeting cards printed by Muddy Mouth Cards. Other solid souvenir options include illustrated pint glasses by Minneapolitan Adam Turman. <em>Terminal 1; concourse G, near gate 1</em></p>
<h4 id="gKig23">Aveda</h4>
<p id="ttGrdm">Service at this Minnesota-founded beauty brand is great. Whether you’re picking out eco-friendly cosmetics and beauty products (items like mineral-based sunscreen, volumizing shampoo, and anti-wrinkle lipstick) or just browsing, you might get treated to complimentary neck and shoulder massage — which is hard to turn down pre-flight. <em>Terminal 1; Airport Mall</em></p>
