Gate area in Terminal 1 is your landmark for News & Convenience
News & Convenience sits airside in Terminal 1 at General Juan N. Álvarez (ACA), close to the main gate area used for domestic departures. It covers the basics: bottled water, soft drinks, packaged snacks, and standard travel toiletries. Pricing runs higher than city shops, with drinks often 30–50% above downtown Acapulco. Think of it as a last-stop top-up rather than a full grocery run.
Hours generally track flight banks in Terminal 1, opening ahead of the first departures around early morning and closing after the last evening flights. You’ll find magazines, a small rack of Spanish-language newspapers, and some simple souvenirs branded “Acapulco” or “Guerrero.” Card payment is accepted, but keep a 100–200 MXN note handy in case the terminal glitches; power and systems here can be hit-or-miss on very quiet days.
Food-wise, expect chips, candy bars, and basic packaged pastries rather than fresh options. A standard 500 ml water can run around 30–40 MXN, and small snack bags often sit in the 25–40 MXN range. If you want anything more substantial than that, eat before you clear security or at one of the small cafés elsewhere in Terminal 1, since this shop leans heavily snack-and-go.
Terminal 2 at ACA sees less traffic, so if you’re departing from T2 and want a guaranteed place to grab water and basic supplies, stop at News & Convenience in T1 before heading over, as long as your airline and ticket allow it. Practical tip: buy your water and snacks in town, then use this shop only for forgotten items like chargers, travel-sized toiletries, or a last-minute magazine.
