Luton Airport shops in main terminal
There are some airports around the world that offer an extensive shopping selection. In fact, there are some airports that strike you as being a shopping mall with an airport attached as opposed to being an airport with a few stores on hand. It would be fair to say that airports are developing and growing all the time and the consumer experience is becoming more and more important.
It is obvious that airport operators benefit from stores because it allows them to bring money in, either through direct sales or in rental income. However, there is also a significant benefit to consumers and travellers in having a number of stores on offer in the airport. Some people like to shop to keep their mind off of flying; some people have forgotten things that they need to buy and some people specifically hold off of buying certain items because they know they can pick them up at the airport.
Luton Airport doesn't have the most extensive shopping options but it should provide the vast majority of items that travellers need before getting on board a plane. If you have forgotten any of the essentials or you are looking for something to make the flight more comfortable or pleasant, you will find that the shops in the main terminal at Luton Airport have everything you are looking for.
For some people, shopping is a necessity, only to be undertaken when there is no alternative or no other solution. There are also people who adore shopping and undertake retail therapy whenever they can. The fact that there is a wide selection of shops in the main terminal at Luton Airport means that all shoppers are catered for.
It may be that you know you need to do some shopping at Luton Airport before you fly, which means you will want to arrive at the main terminal in plenty of time. When it comes to giving yourself more time to spare, travel with 1ST Airport Taxis, and we provide services starting from £20.

WH Smiths
While people instinctively associate WH Smiths with magazines and newspapers, which are great reading material for a flight, you will find that WH Smiths offers a wide range of options. There is a well-stocked food and drink section, with sweets, crisps, sandwiches and snacks, so if you want to have a snack or meal before you pass through customs, you can.
