Who's got the luggage space to buy these big items at the airport? They're not even cheaper than normal shops - more expensive than Amazon. What's the point?

- bobbylarrybobby 4y agoI agree with you — I've never bought anything other than food at an airport — but the shops wouldn't be there if they didn't make money.
- timje1 4y agoI remember reading a book a while back that mentioned that the luxury shops in airports don't make any money and don't expect to make sales. They're there to make you see Armani handbags for $2500 and think 'Wow, Armani must be a really luxury brand to have $2500 handbags on sale!'. This then makes you more likely to later buy an Armani t-shirt for $80. The store in the airport is there to make you think the brand is glamorous, to convince you of its mystique, not to sell things.
- oneoff786 4y agoThat sounds unlikely. Those are expensive locations.

- dzhiurgis 4y agoThose are all impulse buys. Where I am tech is normally cheaper than retail. If you are so disciplined you won't be buying these things at all.
