Gate-side basics in Terminal 1
Across Terminal 1 at FLL, Hudson covers the standard last‑minute needs: bottled water, snacks, and magazines before your flight boards. You’ll see locations just past security in Concourse B and C, usually close to the main gate clusters, so you don’t have to backtrack far from boarding areas.
Hudson in Terminal 1 leans hard on grab-and-go. Expect refrigerated cases with drinks, packaged sandwiches, and candy bars priced higher than street level (a soda can easily hit $4–$5). Shelves carry travel-size toiletries, over-the-counter meds, and chargers that fit most phones, useful if you forgot something at home.
Hours in Terminal 1 generally track the flight banks: opening early for the first departures around 5:00–5:30 a.m. and winding down after the late-evening flights. If you land on one of the last arrivals after 10:00 p.m., don’t assume it’s still open; grab what you need before leaving the secured area if you see lights on.
Reading material still matters here. Magazine racks usually include major titles plus a few Florida-focused guides, and paperback bestsellers sit near the front. Prices print clearly on the covers, but airport markups apply, so factor that into a longer layover budget of $10–$20 for snacks and something to read.
Quick tip: hit Hudson in Terminal 1 right after security instead of waiting until you’re at a far-end gate; stock tends to thin out later in the day near the busier departure banks.
