Gate 70A is your landmark for Hudson News in T7
This Hudson News sits in Terminal 7 at LAX, post-security near the United gates, and it’s the standard stop for last-minute snacks and magazines. Expect typical airport pricing: bottled water around $4–$5, candy bars closer to $3, and grab-and-go snacks in the $5–$8 range. It’s a quick in-and-out option when you don’t want to walk back toward the larger food court.
Hours in T7 tend to track United’s schedule, so Hudson News often opens by 5:00 a.m. and stays open until at least 9:00–10:00 p.m., covering the early eastbound departures and late-night arrivals. You’ll find basics like phone chargers, headphones, neck pillows, and simple travel-size toiletries on the central racks. Magazine and paperback options skew mainstream: think current bestsellers and major news titles, not deep back-catalog.
Foodwise, it’s mostly packaged: chips, nuts, candy, jerky, plus a cooler with soft drinks, juices, and sometimes pre-made sandwiches. Prices on sandwiches usually land in the $9–$12 range, and quality is fine if you’re tight on time but not a replacement for the spots in T7 with hot food. If you just need a quick 20-ounce soda or coffee before boarding, this is usually faster than standing in line at a cafe near Gate 71B.
Watch out for the usual airport trap of buying multiple small items; it’s easy for a “quick grab” to hit $25–$30 at the register. One practical tip: top off your water with a bottle from here, then use the nearby refill fountain by Gate 71A to stretch it through a long United transcon or redeye.
