T1’s Duty Free Shop sits airside after security at AJU
This is the single duty free option in Terminal T1 at Aracaju – Santa Maria Airport, sitting post-security before the main boarding gates. It focuses on the usual travel staples: spirits, wine, tobacco, chocolates, basic fragrances, and some last‑minute souvenirs tied specifically to Sergipe and the northeast of Brazil.
Stock leans toward mainstream international liquor brands in the mid-price range, with common 1L bottles often coming in a bit cheaper than downtown Aracaju shops. It’s a quick stop for grabbing a bottle of whisky or rum under standard duty free allowances before an international leg, though selection is smaller than in São Paulo or Rio hubs.
On the non-alcohol side, you’ll find boxed chocolates, Brazilian sweets, and a modest rack of perfume and cosmetics. Prices here tend to match typical Brazilian duty free rates rather than deep discount outlet levels, so think minor savings plus airport convenience. Tobacco products stay behind the counter, and card payments are accepted in reais and common foreign cards.
Hours track the international flight bank in T1, usually opening at least 2 hours before departures and closing after the last evening flight; early-morning domestic-only periods may see it closed. If you care about comparing prices on liquor or perfume, take photos of shelf tags here first, then decide what to actually buy once you confirm your allowance at check-in.
