Gate-side Hudson News fills the basic last-minute gaps
Hudson News at Curitiba-Afonso Pena (CWB) sits airside in Terminal T1, so you hit it after security for quick grab-and-go. Stock rotates often, but you’ll usually find Brazilian snacks, bottled water, and standard travel gadgets on the racks right by the main domestic gates. Think backup phone cable, neck pillow, and a magazine before boarding in T1.
Hours aren’t clearly published, but in T1 the shop typically opens early enough for the first morning departures around 05:00 and stays open into the late-evening bank of flights around 22:00. If you have a crack-of-dawn departure, aim to pick up anything critical the night before in town, then treat Hudson as a top-up stop for drinks and sweets.
Pricing runs higher than street level in Curitiba, with bottled drinks and packaged snacks usually at standard airport markups in T1. Expect to pay noticeably more than downtown for water, chips, and candy, but still less than you’d drop on an in-flight snack box on most carriers. If you’re watching costs, grab heavier items like sandwiches outside the airport and use Hudson just for light extras.
Selection leans heavily on packaged goods and reading material, with some basic travel accessories like universal adapters and power banks near the front counter in T1. Don’t count on full-size toiletries or niche electronics; this is more “forgotten cable” territory than “replace your whole kit.” Tip: snap a quick photo of the price tag before heading to the register so you can spot any mis-scans in the rush before boarding.
