Near the main departures concourse, Travel Essentials Store covers the basics
This is the generic grab-and-go travel shop at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), sitting airside after security near several domestic gates. Expect standard racks of neck pillows, eye masks, basic electronics, and last‑minute toiletries rather than souvenirs. If you forgot a phone cable, power adapter, or simple padlock before a 1–2 hour hop to Mendoza or Córdoba, this is the sort of place that bails you out.
Hours roughly track the main bank of departures, opening early morning around the first 06:00 flights and staying open into the late-night Aerolíneas Argentinas runs. Prices sit on the high side compared with downtown Buenos Aires: think 20–40% above city pharmacies for things like chargers or headphones. Branded accessories for iPhone and Samsung cost more than generic versions on the same wall, so check labels before tapping your card.
Stock focuses on travel basics: small 100 ml toiletries that fit EU-style liquid rules, simple over‑the‑counter items like painkillers (within Argentine regulations), umbrellas when the Río de la Plata weather turns, and lightweight daypacks that pass as personal items. Snacks are limited to packaged items, and anything cold or fresh is usually cheaper and better at the food outlets 50–100 meters away in the same departures zone.
Since there’s no standout product here, treat this as a backup plan, not a browsing stop. If you know you’ll need cables, batteries, or a powerbank over 10,000 mAh, buy in the city before heading to AEP. Last tip: check the plug type on adapters carefully; Argentina uses Type C/I, and the wrong one tends to show up on the shelf too.
