Whether you love to spend time browsing the offers in duty-free, or you’ve just realised there’s a travel essential that you totally forgot to pack, airport shopping is how most of us end up spending our time in the departure lounge. At Birmingham Airport you can find a number of stores to browse whilst waiting for your flight, from fashion and beauty retailers to gadgets, books and travel essentials. Here are all the places you can indulge in a little retail therapy in the terminal:

Duty free shopping at Birmingham Airport

Once you’ve made it through security you can head to World Duty Free to enjoy tax free shopping on beauty products, fragrances, spirits, tobacco and a variety of other luxury items. There are also some free beauty services available, including 10 minute makeovers by M.A.C Cosmetics, skin consultations and 5 minute massages.

World Duty Free is also the ideal place to find last minute gifts at tax free prices. If you know any chocolate lovers you can find some fantastic deals on confectionary and other luxury treats and souvenirs.

Fashion shopping at Birmingham Airport

If you like to fill your wardrobe with the latest trends, there are several fashion retailers at Birmingham Airport where you can find your new favourite outfit. High street favourites Next and JD Sports cater for both men, women and children with their fashionable clothing, so if you’ve forgotten to pack your swimsuit there’s no need to worry.

If you want to splash out on a designer piece you can head over to Kurt Geiger and treat yourself to a statement handbag or pair of shoes. You can also shop the latest trends in Superdry and find high quality lingerie in Victoria’s Secret.

If you are just looking to accessorise, Sunglasses Hut has plenty of stylish shades to complete your look, or you can find a charm in Pandora to remember your latest trip by.

Shop for travel essentials at Birmingham Airport

We’ve all had that sinking feeling when you realise you’ve forgotten to pack one of your travel essentials like a toothbrush, or headphones so you can ignore the noisy person behind you on the plane! Luckily you can find all of these items in the terminal at Birmingham Airport. In Boots you can shop for health and hygiene products such as sun cream, toothpaste and body wash. If you need a phone charger or other electrical products you can find these in Dixons Travel.

Sometimes the first thing you want to do once you get through security is to find something to keep your hunger at bay. If you’re short on time or don’t fancy having a sit down meal, there is an M&S Simply Food store with a selection of high quality sandwiches and snacks to choose from. There is even a fresh deli section, meaning that you don’t have to compromise on freshness when it comes to convenience.
