Shopping can be a fun way to pass pre-flight time at the airport — but, with varying prices, environments and store types, not all airport shopping experiences are created equal. CouponBirds wanted to know which international and domestic airports are the most enjoyable to shop in, so they compiled the 20 highest-ranking airports worldwide, as well as the top ten best and worst in the US to do so.
