I was going to make a purchase here but decided not to when it was clear a woman working here kept following me around the store. I would turn to go browse in another direction and she would as well. She was staring at me pretty intently which doesn't feel very welcoming. Go elsewhere or shop online. It's probably cheaper anyway.

Store is packed with super cool gift ideas for frequent travelers.

When it comes to stores located inside airports, I think Planewear is one of the best of the best. I've flown all around the world, and this store - located in the Seattle airport - is probably the most fun place I've ever shopped while waiting for my flight. Everything in this store is aviation related, and it's the ideal spot if you're looking for a unique, fun, and interesting gift for a frequent traveler. The inventory ranges from things like pilot wings, model airplanes, paper airplane books and Airports of the World coloring books for children, to more conversation-starting pieces like luggage tags crafted from the fuselage of real 747s, bomber jackets, neckties designed with maps of famous cities, and t-shirts with retro logos of airlines of yesteryear. There is so much cool stuff in this store, and it's well-stocked and really, really cool. I browsed in here a pretty long time and never got bored. It was difficult to tell who was working in the store, however. Tip: just look for the person wearing an old stewardess hat or Top Gun cap!

The coolest store to find retro Pan-Am gear. When I was a kid I was always checking the super cute outfits of the flight attendants from the movies and from the 50s/60s (in my country don't recall cool ensembles like these) and even for a while I wanted to have that profession. Fear of heights and short size and bad vision kept me away but glad to see that we have stores that can fulfill our inner 'assistant from the skies' dressing fantasies. Other than cool Pan-Am wear and gear you will find anything related to the travel world. I love the world globes too (pity that sometimes the countries are located in the wrong spot or you find Paris mixed with Ouagadougou...but for a 'gift from the airport ' surely will do it.

I love these types of stores. The memories of Boeing's 747 and seeing TWA and other iconic aviation brands are so soothing. I know the prices are inflated but spending 15-20 minutes here is like a time travel to the glory days of traveling when suits and hats were fashionable instead of shorts and flip flops. There are all sorts of iconic stuff to look at and reminisce about. There is all sort of gifts for family and friends that love aviation stuff. I did spot a couple of things that I may have to pick up as Christmas gifts when I return to Seattle.

Aviation buffs rejoice. This little shop sells sarcastic and plane funny aviation gear. I recommend watching the time as I easily spent 30 minutes perusing through nostalgic airline memorabilia. There is a selection of collector models, tie clips, lapel pins, and watches. I highly recommend looking through the luggage tag display. The designs are from the golden age of travel with a touch of sarcasm and sharp wit. They also sell apparel, hats, and other aviation themed items. There's a section for children which also has models, books, junior airline pilot gear, and other items to keep the kids entertained. I was in search for a unique present for a frequent traveler. I ended up purchasing eye shades, a Lionel Richie luggage tag, and a Seattle postcard. The prices are reasonable and the merchandise is definitely unique and sarcastically funny.

Well, in fact, because it IS a BAZAAR in the middle of the Pacific Northwest's busiest Airport: SEATAC! THE SETUP Just adjacent off of the B Terminal (?), C Terminal (?), Wing(?)-thingie? Well, I know it's the wing after walking towards the amazing food court, and turn LEFT, go past IVAR's (oh yum, I want clam chowder now with fried calamari), then turn right down the first terminal wing there. And *BAM*, Planewear is off on the left. ITEMS GALORE! So much fun STUFF. STUFF you usually don't find! * old cool vintage maps (and other images) in the form of tissue paper, https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/planewear-seattle?select=Dq-IK6yBerGcFmyX3K-JLg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * vintage flight-wear & suitcases, https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/planewear-seattle?select=F75onTWcp9FpzmZ7OHVjqQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * propellers for your vintage Stearman Biplane (should you need it, and are at this airport) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/planewear-seattle?select=VWgQthlNa1iVjViwbHHI7Q&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * old flight jackets; https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/planewear-seattle?select=NeV4ekgNbYcmbbQug70hgg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * new flight jackets https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/planewear-seattle?select=kRGZOFGwi22-uJ_Su3gF9g&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w AND, * toys AND must-have pillows! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/planewear-seattle?select=PxaMHsbb1LL4PQjQWAVmTQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE LOWDOWN You owe yourself a trip to stop in and check out the wares before you get on that jet taking you back home.

Baleen is one of my favorite shops in Seattle to buy handmade jewelry! I've been here multiple…read moretimes and my jewelry is still going strong, even in the shower. The jewelry is sold at a very reasonable price. They also sell products from other brands, like Baggu and Chunks, to name a couple. The staff is also very friendly and you can try on most of the jewelry before committing.

I had an awful experience and am pretty upset about it. Don't order online from them. They jam your…read moreentire order, no matter the value, into a single USPS package, which is only insured for up to $100, and with their brand plastered on the outside, making it a target for mail theft but impossible to be fully reimbursed for if/when the contents get stolen. After a number of emails back and forth, they were not able to send me the original mailing receipt which is required to file a claim with USPS, so it seems unlikely I'll get anything from the claim anyways. They even gave me a "tip" that I should look into getting a secure mailbox, as if that would prevent an empty box from being delivered in the first place. In the end, I spent $140 for a box with nothing more than tissue paper and promotional material. Oh, did I mention they generously offered to send me the products again if I pay 60% more than I already paid? Thanks, but definitely not going to throw more money in your direction only to lose it again. Update: Just to clarify, this is not a case of mailbox theft...I was physically delivered an empty box by the carrier. There is always risk involved with shipping, and as the shipper, it's your responsibility to ship in a way that reasonably reduces risk and puts shipping liability on the carrier. Since you put more than $100 of your product in a box that's only covered for up to $100, you put the risk on the customer. I can't possibly be refunded now. You also could have reduced risk within reason by not advertising on the outside of the box that there is jewelry inside.
