Let’s be real here, the pre-flight purchases are some of the highlights of any trip. It’s part of the novelty that comes with travelling through the airport.
Well, it just got way easier, because you can now do your airport shopping online before you even arrive, and then collect it when you’re there.
The Loop at Cork and Dublin airport has just vamped up their website (which you can check out here), which means you can make your purchase online and collect it just before you depart or just after you arrive.
Ah now, the novelty of travelling just got way more exciting.

So, ‘How does it work?’, I hear you ask.
Basically, you can shop anywhere between three months and 12 hours before you depart (or 48hours if you're travelling to/from Cork Airport) by
heading to theloop.ie by clicking here and entering when and where you are travelling to.
Then you get shopping. Browse through brands like Dior, La Prairie, Jo Malone, Clarins, Tom Ford, MAC, Too Faced and Bare Minerals and whatever tickles your fancy, sure whack it in your basket.
Then you select your collection point, and there are a few of them depending on which airport you’re travelling to/from.
If you want to pick up your purchase at Dublin Airport before you depart, then you do so at the Click & Collect desk in The Loop store in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Or if you’re arriving in Dublin, you can pick up your purchase at the Shop & Collect Desk in the arrivals hall in Terminal 1, or in The Loop store just after baggage claim in Terminal 2.
Now, if you want to pick it up in Cork, you can do that at the Click & Collect desk in The Loop store just after security in departures or At the Information Desk or Shop & Collect Desk in the arrivals hall.
By doing your airport shop online, you can discover all your favourite products, including some beauty brands that have just landed in time for summer. You can also find products you won't get on the high street as they are available exclusively at the airport. And with their summer sale, you can get up to 50% off selected beauty lines.
Sound appealing? Of course it does. So why not register by clicking here.
