Travel Accessories

Forgot your neck pillow at Kaohsiung MRT? This is the backup.

Travel Accessories at Kaohsiung International Airport sits airside in the small general-merchandise clusters, serving mostly short-haul traffic heading out of terminals D and I. It’s not a big standalone shop; think rack of neck pillows, a few shelves of locks, tags, plug adapters and basic umbrellas tucked beside snacks and souvenirs. Stock focuses on immediate needs, not gear collecting.

Hours aren’t clearly published, but stands usually track the first and last departures on the daily schedule, so you’ll see lights on from early-morning regional flights through the final evening departures after 21:00. Expect simple, mid-range brands rather than premium Samsonite or Rimowa accessories. Card payments are standard, and you’ll pay in TWD with airport markups baked in.

Prices run noticeably higher than in downtown Kaohsiung department stores or on local sites like PChome and Shopee, and the selection is thinner than what you’d find in a single floor of Hanshin Arena or Shin Kong Mitsukoshi. Reviews of KHH’s shopping scene call accessories a side category, so don’t expect ten styles of eye mask or multiple sizes of packing cubes.

Regular Taiwan flyers typically buy travel gear in the city and treat KHH’s airside stands as “break glass in emergency” only: a last-minute USB cable, a 100 ml clear bottle to decant liquids, or a lock before a TSA check. Watch out for generic electronics; if you’re paying over TWD 300 for a cable or adapter here, you’re overpaying by local standards.

Tip: If you have more than 20 minutes before boarding and ride the Red Line, grab serious accessories in town first and use Travel Accessories at KHH only for one missing item you can’t fly without.
