Pontual Turismo

Near T1 check-in counters, Pontual Turismo handles your paperwork

Pontual Turismo sits landside in Terminal 1 at Recife/Guararapes (REC), near the main check-in area, so you can sort out travel admin before security. It’s a straight shot from the entrance doors used by most domestic carriers, usually less than a 3‑minute walk from the central departures board.

This is a classic airport travel agency setup: tickets, hotel bookings, basic tour info, and sometimes last‑minute confirmations for regional flights in Pernambuco. Staff generally work standard airport daytime hours, roughly aligned with the busiest wave of departures between 06:00 and 22:00, though exact closing time can slide with flight schedules.

Expect service counters rather than retail racks. You’re paying for fixes and paperwork, not souvenirs. Prices for services vary by airline and destination, and they quote in Brazilian real on the spot. If you’re changing or reissuing a ticket, bring your original reservation code, a passport, and a payment card that works for Brazilian card terminals.

If your flight leaves from an international gate in T1, build at least a 20‑minute buffer after any stop at Pontual Turismo so you can clear security and walk down to the furthest gates. Tip: snap a photo of any printed vouchers or receipts here; if you misplace the paper later, that image usually saves time at hotel or tour check‑in.
