10 minutes from most T1 gates, Hope is your basics stop
Hope sits airside in Terminal T1 at Curitiba-Afonso Pena, a short walk from the domestic gates and usually visible once you clear central security. It’s a small, straightforward shop aimed at last-minute needs rather than long browsing sessions, so plan on 5–10 minutes here, tops.
Expect standard airport pricing: snacks and bottled drinks run a bit higher than downtown Curitiba, and small travel accessories (like chargers or cables) often hover in the R$40–R$80 range. Stock is skewed toward grab-and-go items rather than heavy souvenirs, so don’t count on finding large gifts or specialty products.
The shelves lean on packaged snacks, candy, and soft drinks, with a few shelves of small personal-care items and basic travel gear. If you forgot toothpaste, a power adapter, or a simple phone cable, there’s usually a workable option here, but selection in each category is limited and can sell out later in the evening.
Opening hours typically mirror the main T1 flight banks, with the shop open from early morning departures to late-night domestic arrivals. If you’re on a very late flight after 23:00, don’t assume it will still be open; grab what you need during the earlier wave of departures instead.
Tip: Stop at Hope right after security in T1 rather than waiting until boarding; lines are shorter and you’ll still be within 5–10 minutes of most gates at Curitiba-Afonso Pena.
