If your holiday travels bring you through the San Francisco International Airport you have one last luxury shopping opportunity. A new Gucci store, the first one in a U.S. airport, has opened at the International Terminal at SFO. According to an article on Inside the Bay Area, this airport was chosen as a Gucci location because of its sleek design. The international terminal at SFO is not a bad place to be waylaid if snow in other areas delays your flight, there is also a salon, spa and plenty of decent dining options and your Gucci purchases will be duty free.

In other Gucci news, it was also recently announced that Gucci in New York will move their flagship store to Trump Tower and take over a four-floor, 46,000-square-foot site that once belonged to Brit jeweler Asprey. The new location will be the world's largest Gucci store when it opens in 2008.
