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?
