Phone chargers here run about £15–£25 at WHSmith Tech Express.
WHSmith Tech Express at Leeds Bradford Airport sits airside after security, on the main departures concourse before the gates. It’s a small, grab-and-go tech stop focused on last-minute cables, headphones, and gadget add‑ons rather than big-ticket electronics. Think “I forgot my charger” more than “I want a new tablet.”
Opening hours typically mirror the first and last departures of the day, so expect it to be trading from early morning check‑in through to the final evening flights. You’ll find standard phone cables, UK and EU travel adapters, and power banks in the £20–£40 range, all packaged for carry-on and clearly labelled for iPhone, USB‑C, and older micro‑USB devices.
Headphones and earbuds skew toward mid-range brands, with prices usually around £15 for basic wired sets and £30–£60 for Bluetooth options. You’ll also see cases, screen protectors, and a few compact Bluetooth speakers, though stock changes with each season and promo cycle. Expect airport mark‑ups versus the high street, but not the eye‑watering luxury-electronics level.
Tech here is backed up by a core of travel basics: memory cards, USB sticks, and sometimes SIM or eSIM packaging for international roaming, all displayed near the tills. The shop is small, so you can be in and out in under 5 minutes, even during the busy 06:00–08:00 wave.
Tip: If you just need a backup cable or adapter before boarding, pop in here right after security rather than waiting near the gates, where tech options at LBA thin out quickly.
