Gate area is tiny, so this shop covers a lot
Travel Essentials Store sits airside at Antwerp International (ANR), just past the single security checkpoint and a short walk from the main departure gates. The airport handles only a handful of flights per day, so this shop doubles as your last-stop supply point once you’ve cleared Belgian security rules on liquids and bags.
Opening hours generally track the day’s departures, with the store active from the first morning check-in wave through the last evening flight on the schedule. That means if you’re on an early TUIfly or business charter, you still get a shot at picking up chargers, earphones and basic toiletries before boarding.
Expect standard airport pricing: bottled water and soft drinks sit a notch above city supermarkets, and small electronics like USB-C cables or power banks land in the €15–€40 range. You’ll also find travel pillows, eye masks, plug adapters that cover UK/EU/US sockets, and a basic stack of stationery for quick in-flight work.
The snack wall leans on single-serve chocolate, crisps and candy bags you can toss into a personal item. Packs are sized for short hops under two hours, which matches most routes out of ANR. If you want proper food, though, you’re still better off hitting the landside café before security and using this shop just for top-ups.
One practical move: grab any last-minute liquids under 100 ml here so you don’t have to re-pack at the security belt just a few metres away.
