Gate 2 in Terminal 1 is your last-minute Antigua stop
Britt Shop sits near Gate 2 in Terminal 1, right in the small cluster of souvenir spots before you board. It leans touristy, but that’s the point: logo mugs, keychains, magnets, and beachy trinkets all crammed into one compact space. If you forgot to grab something in St. John’s or at the resort, this is the airport safety net.
Everything here is post-security in Terminal 1, so you can walk over after clearing exit checks and still keep an eye on boarding at Gate 2. Stock revolves around Antigua-branded items and regional Caribbean themes: think printed T‑shirts, hats, tote bags, simple jewelry, and a few snack items at the counter. Prices sit at typical airport mark-up, so expect to pay a few EC or US dollars more than in town.
Selection runs deepest on small, packable souvenirs, especially magnet racks and keychains lined up near the entrance. Larger items like beach bags and stuffed animals hang on the side walls and can disappear by late afternoon on heavy departure days. Staff usually switch price tags between Eastern Caribbean dollar and US dollar, so check the label before you tap your card.
There aren’t many pure souvenir options near Gate 2, so Britt Shop tends to attract anyone killing 15–20 minutes before boarding. Stock is self-serve, with a single register that can bottleneck when two outbound flights board close together. Practical tip: snap photos of price tags and decide quickly, then jump in line early so you’re not the last one sprinting to the Gate 2 podium.
