Best Buy Tests Airport Kiosks
August 18, 2008 — Best Buy Express is the name of a program that will put CE retail kiosks in airports. If you're waiting for a plane, would you like to buy a digital camera? Cell phone? Flash drive? Music player? Headphones, speakers, gaming portables? Surely a travel adapter or charger!

The program will launch in these major U.S. airports: Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), Las Vegas (LAS), Los Angeles (LAX), Minneapolis (MSP) and San Francisco (SFO).

Sure, air travel is down and the airline industry is radically shrinking. But it's likely that what's left—after all the discount flyers have opted for staycations—will be well-heeled businesspeople and other high-end travelers with an appetite for gizmos. So Best Buy Express might actually have a shot at success.

Bucking the bad economy, Best Buy also opened five new stores in August.
