Travel & Business Shop

Adapters, cables and office basics in T1’s Travel & Business Shop

This small Travel & Business Shop in Terminal 1 at Faro Airport sits in the standard post-security retail mix and fills the “I forgot tech or stationery” gap: think plug adapters for Portugal, USB charging cables, laptop sleeves and basic notebooks rather than souvenirs. FAO is a compact airport, so you can walk here from any T1 gate in under 5 minutes and still keep an eye on a mid-boarding flight on the screens.

Pricing runs higher than downtown Faro: expect 15–25 EUR for branded travel adapters, 10–20 EUR for power banks and around 5–8 EUR for pens or simple folders. Stock focuses on practical items for business travellers, with a few mid-range laptop bags that come in around 40–70 EUR. If you only need a single cable and have time in the city, skip big-ticket items here and buy them in town instead.

Opening hours generally track flight banks, so figure roughly 05:00 until the late-evening departures that leave FAO around 23:00, though very early or very late flights sometimes catch a half-shuttered shop. Payment works fine with major credit cards and contactless; Amex acceptance at Faro Airport T1 is usually solid but can vary terminal-wide, so carry a Visa or Mastercard as backup.

Use this place as a last-minute safety net: grab an EU plug at Travel & Business Shop in T1 before you head to the gates, so you’re not hunting for adapters after landing at a smaller regional airport in Portugal with fewer retail options.
