A man’s daughter had a simple question about an airport shop that left him stumped. Why are there luggage stores inside airports, especially after passengers have already checked in their bags?
The question had several users thinking about their own airport experiences. One person wrote, “Solid questions actually. Have wondered and failed. My guess is that people end up buying things and need bags at the terminal.”
Another suggested that airport luggage shops cater to last-minute needs. “Most of travel retail is last min emergency buy. It will never make sense to most people but when we are in that situation we realise the importance of its availability,” the user commented.
“I think it’s mostly for people who have either arrived at an airport with a broken baggage and/or have to dispose of their bags for whatever reason, like spillage, damage, send some stuff back home, but need another bag,” one person wrote.
