Airport management undergrad here! I can confirm this is true. Soon enough airports will become shopping centers, and you'll be surprised the amount of people who actually buy from the airport. Also subliminal signs/messages is the main concept when designing an airport.

Id say placing everyone in one big queue is also more stress reliving as youre constantly moving places in the queue and feel like progress is being made. If there are 10 check-in desks and 10 queues you move forward 1/10th of the speed you would if the queue was combined into one. Even though the queue is shorter, its more stressful to be stood still.

In the case of most UK airports (unsure if it’s a similar thing elsewhere) you actually have to walk through duty free in order to get to the main departure area and the gates. In addition you’ll likely find 2 or 3 of the same store ( in the UK it’s normally WHSmith) near the gates, with the main branch in the shopping mezzanine and these smaller ones are for last-minute items like water and newspapers.

Regarding the queues: They're absolutely stupid. In the civilized world (help me finding that one), instead of standing in a queue for hours, you just get a "nummerlapp", a little piece of paper showing your place in a virtual queue and you can sit down, relax and wait until your number is called. In the meantime, you can get a cup of coffee, to to the washrooms, etc... Why standing in the queue physically? There's no reason to it!

These days it seems like airports are really closer to being shopping malls and the flight part is just something they do on the side. Some airports like Sydney, as soon as you leave security you have to go through the duty free shop to get to your gate. That just seems to be pushing things a bit too far. Also most big airports these days force you to spend money to get there. Often the public transport is expensive, taxis are charged a surcharge to go to the airport, parking is very expensive. Some airports like Brisbane domestic are even moving free temporary drop off and pickup areas as far from the terminal as is possible.

Having worked in retail for many years, I've always been hip to the little gimmicks they use no matter where you are, to try to part you from your money. Also, as I'm handicapped and in a wheelchair, the skycap pushing me around will push me right past all the stores unless I specifically ask him to stop.(I rarely do.) I also select my flights frequently based on connection times. I don't like to sit around waiting for my connection; it's painful to my damaged spine. I usually fly with Delta. They have they best connecting times. The longest connecting time I've ever had with Delta for a domestic flight was two hours. That gave me enough time to be taken off my inbound flight wheeled to my connection, take care of my call of nature, grab a bite to eat and be tossed back on to my connection. Most of the time, my connections are just long enough for them to get me off my inbound flight, wheel me to my connection and toss me onto my outbound connection, and that suits me just fine. Delta is a great airline; they treat me like a princess.

The architectural design enhances passenger movements through the terminals. There's one exit out of Customs for example, into the main terminal. (People aren't exiting from 6-8 different exits). This also enhances security. Video monitoring systems at airports today look for anomalies: someone moving against the intended flow, someone just stationery in an area of flow, someone entering an exitway (testing the system?), and items that have been moved from their standard position (such as an artificial tree). These designs to enhancement movement constitute a system that highlights disruptions or anomalies easily.

Baggage claim carousels often have about a two foot buffer of darker color to subconsciously encourage people to stay back a bit while waiting for bags and give people whose bags are coming room to step up and lift the bags off the carousel without hitting people. Not that it works since people seem to think pushing right up against the thing will somehow magically make their bag come out faster, but if you look it's often there nonetheless.

As a left-handed person, I never knew about the walkways thing. I find it easy to not overspend at an airport, and now I know one reason why.

I always knew there was a reason and rhyme for airport design, I never realized it was this subliminal. Maybe because I fly so infrequently, but 2 recent trips to United Terminal C at Newark Liberty to meet my daughter's friend when she arrived and then get her on her plane to go back home were positively dismal. Signs were confusing as to which way to go - e.g. go this way but then not show repeating signs to let you know you're on the right path to get where you need to be until you get to the destination.

Interesting video. Did not know about the shops being on the right. I'm left handed, always getting a stiff neck looking to the right when my instincts were to look to the left. A lot of these features are absent at Miami International. Elevators and walkways are always broken. Signs are not exactly where they are suppose to be for what they are pointing to.

I prefer the grass airstrip where I used to have my airplane based. No security. No lines. Just park your car behind the airplane, load your gear, do a preflight check, and go. I could be in the air in about 20 minutes. That's how I like to fly.

Natural light doesn't use electricity, and doesn't need bulbs replaced. It's cheaper in the long run.

The whole VIP section is another element of design that you did not mention. The VIP experience at airports is extremely different, there is a dedicated 1st class (and sometimes business class) check in desk, and a concierge will take you through a private security area where you are checked (the guards are usually nicer than the normal guards) and straight on to the lounge area where you can enjoy a nice meal and perhaps a mini-spa treatment before you get whisked off to the gate in a golf cart or a limo (if you have to board without a jetway) and you are boarded before the rest of the aircraft and you get a complementary drink and snack of whatever you like while the rest of the plane is loaded. The entire experience is designed so that the VIP doesn't have to have any contact with the general public unless they wish to.
