Yes, there is typically good signage in airports and transit stations, but two main factors will make this a game-changer:
1. airports are a place where a non-insignificant number of visitors have never been there before and may be unfamiliar with the language of the signage.
2. ever been late to a flight? That's a high-stress situation wherein you may be more likely to become frustrated with signage and any human-made error can lead to you missing your flight.
Of course, these two do not usually apply to malls, but still a pretty handy feature there (IMO the less time spent navigating a mall the happier I am).
