Shoppers’ Shangri-la

IIPM PUBLICATION

Forbes’ list for Best Airports for Shopping is out, and here’s what it looks like. Singapore Airport draws first blood, as the Forbes’ website says: “With over 160 shopping spots, there’s something for every taste at Singapore’s International Airport.” Next stop is London’s Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5, followed by John F. Kennedy International Airport, Terminal One, about which it is being said, “...offers the best luxury shopping at JFK, so consider yourself lucky if you’re travelling through here to Europe or Asia (many international airlines fly out of this terminal). From Hermes scarves to Ferragamo handbags, you’ll find a wide range of luxe accessories.” Then comes Zurich Airport, which is “one of the few airports in Europe where passengers can still save upto 20% at tax-free and duty-free retailers. Stock up on Chanel make-up and top-shelf whiskey, not to mention luxury accessories,” says the website. Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam is ranked fifth: “Although the retail outlets in the Schiphol airport are less high-end than others, the airport’s retailers are cited again and again for their excellent customer service and a wide range of goods” is what Forbes has to say about the airport.
