[title]There’s always that moment during a trip when you check your backpack for the third time: passport, charger, headphones, that gift you still haven’t bought. Forgetting something is part of the travel ritual — but you don’t always have to go back home, or board the plane without what you need.
Knowing where to shop at the airport can solve many of these little travel mishaps. From tech accessories and pharmacy products to a book to read or gifts with an Argentine identity, there are options for those last-minute purchases. Aeropuertos Argentina has shops and offerings that allow you to complete your luggage, take care of an essential need or simply add something to your trip.
As Argentine as Giving a Little Piece of Our Culture
If a gift was left out of your suitcase, there’s still time to find something before boarding. Argentine products are a great option for taking home something with a local flavor. From food products to objects and souvenirs, airport shops offer options for different budgets and recipients. Plus, buying a gift at the airport has something of a last-minute mission about it: finding something truly worth taking home and leaving with one less thing to worry about.
Los Robles Polo Time embraces an Argentina more closely associated with polo and leather, offering mate sets, scarves, shoes, hats and other accessories. At Alma Pampa, you’ll find classics from the gaucho world, such as mates and thermoses, along with clothing and accessories: ponchos, scarves, bags and other items to take a little piece of Argentina home in your suitcase. If what you’re missing is space to store everything you’ve bought, Travel Bag offers suitcases and bags to sort out your luggage before boarding.
Patagonia Wine Experience is the option for raising a toast from afar, with a selection of Argentine wines and beers to take home as a souvenir or gift. Havanna is the go-to option for edible gifts: alfajores, cookies and other products that are perfect for bringing something sweet from Argentina. Casa Vigil adds a selection of Argentine wines from renowned labels such as El Enemigo and Gran Enemigo, ideal for bringing a taste of Mendoza home as a gift.
Plan Ahead for Your Trip and Take Advantage of Discounts on Shopping, Services and Gifts
ShopGallery brings together a selection of national and international products, exclusive brands and regional options at its stores in the country’s main airports.

It’s a wide-ranging selection designed to solve those last-minute shopping needs or add something special before takeoff.
And if you’d rather take care of everything before leaving home, you can also shop online and pick up your purchases at the airport. ShopGallery offers a wide variety of products and the same promotions available in its stores, so whatever you need or want to take on your trip can be ready before takeoff.
You can also activate Modo Duty and take advantage of discounts of up to 65% compared with the local market on products at Duty Free Shop Argentina.

Through the Aeropuertos Argentina Store, you can also book everything you need to travel more comfortably: parking, Fast Pass, VIP Lounge and much more, with exclusive benefits and promotional prices.
Technology: The Things You Should Never Leave Uncharged
A phone with a low battery, several hours of travel ahead and, suddenly, the charger becomes the most sought-after item at the airport. The same goes for headphones or that adapter you accidentally left at home: they take up very little space, but can be sorely missed when you need them.
Technology is practically part of your luggage now: maps, reservations, boarding passes, music and messages all depend on a phone with battery life. If you’re missing a charger, headphones or an adapter, you can get them before boarding at Trip Store, Duty Free Shop and ShopGallery, among other airport shops.
Pharmacy and Personal Care: The Basics You Always Need
Sunscreen, personal care products and other essentials can suddenly appear on your list of things to buy once the trip is already underway. Taking care of them means arriving at your destination with one less thing to worry about, especially if your trip includes the beach, long hours outdoors or a packed schedule from day one.
Yes, there’s a Farmacity at the airport that can save the day when you’ve forgotten something. You’ll find pharmacy, first-aid, cosmetics and personal hygiene products to take care of whatever is missing before takeoff. There are prescription and over-the-counter medicines, as well as painkillers, antacids and allergy medication. It also offers first-aid and basic-care products, such as moisturizers and sunscreen.
For cosmetics, there is makeup, nail polish and facial and body treatments, with specialized advice. The selection is rounded out by hair-care products, such as shampoos and conditioners, as well as soaps, deodorants, body creams and oral hygiene products.
