With only a couple of cafés in T1, dining options are minimal. - _Time_: Arrive 60–75 minutes before a domestic flight if checked in online. - _Money_: Withdraw cash at an airport ATM for taxis and vendors. - _Time_: Book the first flight of the day for more rebooking options if delays occur. - _Quiet_: Use the landside café area as it's calmer than the seating near the gates. - _Local_: Souvenir prices are reasonable compared to tourist shops in Atalaia. - _Insider_: Use a long layover to visit Atalaia Beach, just a 10-15 minute taxi ride away. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
