Dufry

Gate-side Dufry in T1 has your last‑minute Brazil buys

This Dufry sits airside in Terminal T1 after security, so you can shop right up until boarding. It runs in typical duty-free hours, roughly from first departures to the last late-night flights, and covers both domestic and international gates in the same concourse. Prices are in Brazilian real with duty-free discounts shown clearly for international tickets at checkout.

You’ll see the usual Dufry mix: liquor, perfume, cosmetics, Brazilian and imported chocolates, plus basic travel gear like neck pillows and power adapters. Spirits often run 20–30% under downtown São Paulo or Fortaleza supermarket prices when you qualify for duty-free, while snacks and soft drinks track closer to standard airport markups. Tobacco and high-end fragrance sit near the entrance, with local sweets further toward the cashiers.

Selection skews toward big global brands, with some Brazilian labels in the cachaça and chocolate sections. Expect shelves of Johnnie Walker, Absolut, Paco Rabanne, and Dior, and then regional bottles like cachaça Ypióca and Pitú near mid-store. Gift boxes under R$150 are easy to find, but premium whisky and perfume can push well past R$400 per item.

Staff usually handle English, Portuguese, and some Spanish, and they’ll scan your boarding pass to apply duty-free rules tied to your destination and allowance. Keep your passport and boarding pass ready at the till to avoid delays, especially on packed evening departures from T1.

Tip: shop here after security but before you sit at your gate in T1; lines at Dufry get longer 30–40 minutes before international departures.
