Gate-side basics in Terminal 1
This Hudson News sits in Terminal 1 at OAK, handy if your flight goes from the older gates on the Southwest side. It’s standard airport newsstand stock: bottled drinks, packaged snacks, candy bars, gum, and a wall of magazines and paperbacks. Prices run higher than street level, but a 20 oz soda usually stays under $5 and chips hover around $3–$4, so it’s airport-expensive, not outrageous.
Hours track the Terminal 1 schedule, generally opening before the first morning departures around 5:00 a.m. and staying open through the late-night arrivals that hit after 10:00 p.m. If you land on one of the very last flights after midnight, expect it to be closed and plan to grab water on the plane. Coffee options are limited here to bottled Frappuccinos and canned cold brew rather than fresh espresso.
You’ll find basic travel gear like phone chargers, Lightning and USB-C cables, over-ear headphones, travel pillows, and a few TSA-compliant toiletry kits in quart-size bags. Expect to pay around $20–$30 for branded chargers and $15–$25 for earbuds. They also carry Bay Area souvenirs—Golden State Warriors and Oakland A’s gear plus SFO/OAK-branded mugs and keychains—good enough for a quick $10–$20 last-minute gift.
Use this spot to top up on water after security in Terminal 1, but if you need a real meal, walk a few gates down toward the larger food outlets and sit-down spots before you head to boarding.
