Shopping
Palm Springs (PSP) Airport Shopping
Shopping at Palm Springs International 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
Coachella Duty Free operates near Gate 8 in the Sonny Bono Concourse (Gates 4-11), open 10 AM–5 PM, selling liquor, tobacco, fragrance, and gifts. It is genuine duty-free tied to PSP's seasonal international (Canada) departures, not just duty-free branding.
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
PSP has no dedicated bookstore or national newsstand chain (e.g., Hudson). The Pink Door (pre-security, main terminal) and Uptown Essentials (Agua Caliente Concourse) carry magazines and grab-and-go reads alongside gifts and snacks.
Convenience & travel essentials
I ❤ PSP Self Serve is a 24/7 self-checkout kiosk near Gate 5 in the Sonny Bono Concourse; Uptown Essentials (Agua Caliente Concourse) and The Pink Door (pre-security) cover snacks, drinks, and travel essentials elsewhere in the terminal.
Hudson News is at most gate areas throughout Palm Springs International Airport — a reliable last-minute stop for charging cables, snacks, OTC medicine, and reading material before any departure.
Tech & electronics
InMotion, in the Sonny Bono Concourse, carries Apple, Beats, Bose, JBL, and Sony electronics and accessories — PSP's only dedicated tech retailer.
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
Las Palmas Oasis (Sonny Bono Concourse) sells resort wear, golf apparel, skincare, and locally made gifts, and Hey Joshua (also Sonny Bono Concourse) offers handcrafted home decor and jewelry from local artisans. This leans toward Palm Springs' resort/desert-modern aesthetic rather than mainstream fashion brands.
Best shopping area
Sonny Bono Concourse (Gates 4-11) — home to InMotion, Las Palmas Oasis, Hey Joshua, Coachella Duty Free, and the 24/7 self-serve shop; it carries PSP's widest retail mix.
Pro Tip
Shops close earlier than at a big hub — most Agua Caliente Concourse (Gates 12-20) retail closes by 5 PM or at the last flight, so buy gifts or snacks before heading to a late-night gate on that side of the terminal.
