Shopping
Long Beach (LGB) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Long Beach Airport spans convenience staples at Hudson News and tech accessories at InMotion through to local specialty gifts and duty-free for international travelers. See each section below for exact locations by concourse or terminal.
Duty-free shopping
None. LGB has no duty-free shop — it's a domestic-only airport (including Hawaii) with no international departures requiring one.
US duty-free allowance
US residents may bring back $800 in duty-free goods per person. Liquids purchased at duty-free must be in the original sealed store bag when transiting international connections — otherwise they may be confiscated at the connecting airport security checkpoint.
Books & magazines
Travel@Ease Gifts and News (South Concourse, open 6am–8:30pm) is LGB's newsstand, carrying magazines, paperbacks, snacks, and travel accessories.
Convenience & travel essentials
Travel@Ease Gifts and News (South Concourse) and 562 Experience Long Beach Business Journal (North Concourse, open 6am–5:30pm) both function as LGB's general convenience and gift shops, stocking snacks, drinks, and sundries.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Long Beach Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
No dedicated electronics or tech retailer (no InMotion, Best Buy Express, or similar chain) — Travel@Ease carries basic phone chargers and cables but nothing beyond that.
Best Buy Express kiosks carry Apple accessories, Bose headphones, and phone chargers at most major US airports. InMotion Entertainment is the other key tech stop — open at most gate clusters and stocked with travel-oriented electronics essentials.
Fashion & specialty retail
No dedicated apparel or fashion retailer. 562 Experience Long Beach Business Journal sells Long Beach-branded apparel and locally focused gifts alongside its newsstand goods — otherwise standard airport convenience retail only.
Best shopping area
562 Experience Long Beach Business Journal in the North Concourse is LGB's closest thing to a specialty shop, pairing Long Beach-branded gifts and apparel with newsstand basics.
Pro Tip
LGB's retail is very limited — just two small newsstand/gift shops total, no duty-free, and no tech shop. Handle any real shopping before you arrive, or budget time at LAX (about 20 miles away) if your itinerary connects through there.
