Jorge Chávez International Airport,
Lima
The $148 million in upgrades to Jorge Chávez are a little over two
years old now and include the huge Perú Plaza shopping center.
South America's only landside (pre-security) airport retail
shopping experience, it gives travelers and locals alike a chance
to browse through stores such as Ilaria (for handcrafted jewelry
made with Peruvian turquoise, quartz, and amethyst) and Alpaca 111
(for garments crafted from alpaca, llama, and vicuña wool).

Bonus:
Hopkins International Airport, Cleveland
Consider Hopkins one to watch. With its current concession contract
about to expire, the airport is looking for developers to not only
update and upgrade its current lineup of stores but to also add an
additional 20,000 square feet of retail space.

kid stuff you're on the
road, jetting here and there, and you miss the kiddos, so you want
to remember them with a special treat from your travels. these are
our five favorite airports when it comes to shopping for the wee
ones.
pittsburgh international airport,
pittsburgh
this one makes our list of favorites again. moms and pops can pick
up goodies galore for the offspring: animal-themed slippers from
the soxx shop, an airplane-shaped pedal car from creative kidstuff,
a precious moments doll from audrey's attic, and more. if you ask
at one of the information booths, they'll give you a free coloring
book with an aeronautical theme.
