Hudson News

B

Next to many Terminal B gates, Hudson News covers the basics fast.

This Hudson News in Terminal B sits airside after security, handy if your United Express flight boards nearby. Open from early morning into late evening most days, it works for both 6 a.m. departures and late arrivals. You’ll find the standard mix of magazines, paperbacks, phone chargers, and bottled drinks, all at typical airport markup, not gift-shop shock pricing.

Snacks run from single candy bars under $3 to larger grab-and-go packs closer to $8–$10. Coolers carry water, sodas, and a few energy drinks, plus some basic sandwiches and protein snacks that can stand in for a light meal between regional hops out of B. It’s not a full deli, but it fills the gap if you mis-timed the food court in Terminal C or E.

Hudson News also doubles as an emergency kit stop: travel-size toiletries, aspirin, motion-sickness meds, and simple phone cables usually in stock behind the front racks. You’ll also see Texas-themed souvenirs under $15 alongside pricier logo items. Lines move quickly except during the 6–8 a.m. bank of United departures, when several B gates load at once and the single cashier can back up.

Plan one quick pass: hit Hudson News right after you clear Terminal B security, grab water and a snack, then head straight to your exact gate before the regional jets start boarding early.
