Who just before the flight home to Europe on a Duty Free Shop hopes is unfortunately disappointed. There is only a very small possibility to buy something yourself at the airport.

Practical advice
Despite the high number of passengers (Southwest Florida International Airport is one of the top 50 in the USA), the airport is quite small and clearly laid out. The departure area is located in the upper area of the terminal. The arrival area is located in the lower area of the terminal. The individual airlines are displayed in the parking garage so that you can park very close to the company you want.
