I love window shopping at the airport although I may not end up buying something every time but it’s amazing to browse the collection. I do love the idea of going to Be Relax Spa though 😀

LOL, too funny. I guess it can be addicting to shop at the airport. After all, you’re in a captive environment and if you don’t have lounge access, there’s not a lot else to do. I’m not a huge shopper nor do I wear makeup or perfume so of those shops I’d probably find something fun at Travel Tech. But you can bet I’d have a glass or two of wine at Vino Volo!

I never really shop at airports, but when thinking about it, it would be fun to do! Always great to have items that remind you of your travels! Dulles looks like they have a lot of great shops—I love Kiehl’s! Relaxing in the spa would be pretty wonderful, too!

This sounds like an incredibly luxurious shopping trip! I never shop at airports because I hate the markup that most stores have, plus I couldn’t afford (or at least justify) the cheapest thing in many of these stores. However, I can see why this would be the perfect airport for some designer-loving travelers! Now the spa… that I can always justify spending money on. Haha

Shopping at the airports is usually super boring but Dulles International Airport seems to be different. Glad that you enjoyed your shopping day, I am sure it made your visit more memorable.

Your post here actually makes me want to go shopping and I am not usually a big fan. You make a good point that a loyover at the airport is a perfect time to do some shopping if you are typically a busy person. I also never though you could get deals at an airport store, but I think next time I will certainly look for it! Jewelry is the best thing to get at the airport, like you say, because it doesn’t take up space (and you can just wear it!). I love your suggestion on getting ready for a part at the MAC counter and cosmetics that will make you look great even if you’re feeling groggy after a flight! Genius!

I don’t usually buy much at the airport other than food, but I can definitely be persuaded to have a massage though! And wine on the go is always a great choice.

I love exploring airports but only window shop. Looks like you had fun between flights and you have some great points about not returning home empty handed. Eye-lashes applied? Perhaps in my next life!

I don’t usually shop in airports but recently picked up a bargain in the January sales when I flew last week, so I could be a convert!! Although I think I’d be more open to a nice massage at the spa!
