By gate numbers in Terminal 1, Acium is your quick tech stop
Acium sits airside in Terminal 1 at Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport, handy if you realize at the last minute that your USB-C cable is still at home. It’s a small electronics shop, so think trip‑savers rather than full laptop replacements. You’ll spot it along the main passenger flow after security, before you branch off toward the more distant gates.
This is the spot for basic travel tech: phone chargers, power banks, headphones, and small accessories that keep a flight from feeling twice as long. Prices run higher than downtown Salvador shops, but still in the normal “airport markup” range, so expect to pay a few extra reais for the convenience of buying right in Terminal 1. Stock rotates, but they usually carry gear compatible with current iPhone and Android models.
Acium also carries little extras that can save a trip: SIM-card tools, simple cases, and sometimes Bluetooth earbuds good enough for a 2–3 hour hop. Don’t come here assuming you’ll find niche cables or pro‑level audio; treat it like a backup plan for essentials you forgot between check‑in and the gate. Because it’s inside security, you can duck in even 20–30 minutes before boarding without stressing.
One tip: check your cable and charger block at your hotel in Salvador before heading to SSA. If something’s missing, factor in a 5–10 minute detour to Acium in Terminal 1 so you’re not trying to buy tech with boarding already underway.
