Terminal 2, also known as the Queen's Terminal, will feature a host of new retail outlets.

The two stores of Excess Baggage Company will be located at the departures area and arrival hall.

The store at the departures area would be a bright and contemporary space and will showcase a range of travel goods with essential travel services such as bag wrap and bag shipping.

Brands featured will include Rimowa, Eagle Creek, Delsey, Victorinox and Travelpro, among others.

The arrivals hall store has a coordinated modern look and feel, featuring a nine foot video display screen.

The store will utilise latest systems such as QR code technology, on-line pre-booking and on-line product selection.

Notable element of the store would be its luggage service, which include baggage shipping and parcel delivery.

Muriel Zingraff-Shariff, Heathrow's retail director said: 'The digitalisation of retail is key to our plans for Terminal 2 and I am delighted that Excess Baggage have embraced this with online booking and QR code technologies. We are looking forward to introducing this brand new concept across the rest of Heathrow's terminals.'

To open in summer 2014, the expansive, open Terminal 2 is designed to enhance passenger experience, and will introduce added services such as multi-lingual ambassadors and personal shoppers.

Heathrow Airport generates annual net sales of over £1.7bn from its retail spaces. Terminal 2 will have 67 outlets in total including shops, bars and restaurants.

The airport serves passengers from around 180 worldwide destinations.
