SIM packs at the airport till, sold before the gate
Hang SIM packs for the top routes next to the till. Staff ask the destination, check the phone, and sell the pack before the gate. A QR stand covers the hours when the shop is closed.
Short answer: An airport shop sells SIM packs like any travel item, with one difference: the phone check. A small shelf for the top routes, one question at the till, and a QR stand for the closed hours cover most travelers.
