Most people think of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport as being the world’s busiest airport, which it is. Or they may think of it as Delta Air Lines’ headquarters with hundreds of flights leaving daily from here. Also true.

But it is also an incredible shopping mall with more than 150 shops spread across the concourses. Yes, you can get everything from souvenirs to take home to the kids (who doesn’t want an ATL snow globe?), clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, luggage and jerseys from our favorite sports teams. There are even two duty-free shops for international shoppers.

Now, we really aren’t suggesting that you take MARTA down to the airport to do your holiday shopping (Atlanta has some of the country’s best shopping malls and boutiques throughout the city, after all), but what we are suggesting is that while you are between flights, you might want to shop.

Get a book to read on the plane, a piece of luggage for your next trip, aspirin for that headache or even a new pair of shoes because your feet are killing you. If you may have eaten too much on your trip, stop by SPANX, the Atlanta-based company that offers shapewear to help keep everything in place.

Let’s go on a shopping tour of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
