Airport Concourse Shops

What is the best way to find shops inside a specific airport when waiting for a connecting flight? Do I need to change the zip code to my layover airport's zip code to find these shops? Are there certain companies that have shops for the stores inside the airport? I have never seen these shops personally, but the nearby airport is not big. Looking to kill some time during one of my layovers. Thanks!

I know I've seen a lot of airport shops on MarketForce when checking jobs for weekend routes. They're always the "make an offer" jobs, too, because so few people take them. I keep meaning to find out if there is a way to get past security without a plane ticket so I could pick some of those up.

Does MF have anything in an airport besides San Antonio? Maybe I maxed out of their airport shops?

MF has burger shops in a lot of them. I fly through Atlanta a lot though and those are usually booked up a month in advance.

Customer service experts and yes, use the zip code of the airport(s) you are seeking!

I took a look at MF, but I didn't see any shops for DFW. I will have to keep looking!

There are several msc I work for that have in the past asked shoppers who can do airports to contact them and be put on a separate list. I have not kept track as I rarely fly but keep looking for those offers from msc you are signed with. Perhaps if you put in the willing to shop zipcode near your frequent airport they will send you an invite.
As to shopping without flying...there are threads from a while back about doing this. With some airlines if you purchase the refundable ticket you can check in and then cancel your flight. I have never done this as it seemed more work than I wanted to do to earn a few bucks.

I don't go to airports much, but would the Presto Instashop app work there? I use it when I travel to zero in on stuff around me. I know the shops it finds are limited but wouldn't hurt to try it there. And again, I don't know since I don't go to airports.

If I have extra time I check Presto, but then you're only getting Sassie shops.

There is one in my home airport bonused to $25 currently, but all of the airlines in that concourse make refunds a pain.

A-C-L has DFW shops -- and they often have difficult time scheduling them.

When I'm flying I usually can find airport shops with Customer Service Experts or SeeLevel... Just look for the destination city. Haven't tried MarketForce for anything yet... I signed up, took a look around, and with what I saw and all the complaints I see around here, decided to keep them in the "hold" pile of MSC's... may see what airport jobs they have some time though and it may make sense. CSE is actually pretty great -- but their jobs seem to go quick; since they shop a ton of airports I think they have a ton of airport shoppers, plus they actively recruit badged personnel to shop.

I've picked up airport shops from Ann Michaels, Confrero, ISS, ACL, Marketforce and Customer Service Experts. I've seen that Sinclair, Coyle and Shared Insight are looking for airport shoppers, but have never picked up one with them. I just put in the zip of the airport and set the radius to 5 miles.
