Near most B gates, Relay is your last-minute grab spot
Relay shows up in multiple concourses across LaGuardia, mostly in Terminal B, and sits close to several gate clusters so you can duck in between boarding calls. It’s a straight newsstand/convenience setup: magazines, basic books, headphones, phone cords, snacks, and bottled drinks. Expect airport pricing, with candy and chips in the $3–$6 range and bottled water hovering around $4–$5.
Hours track flight banks, with many Relay locations in LGA’s Terminal B opening around the first departures of the morning and staying open until roughly the last bank at night, often from about 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. You’ll find the shops post-security, so this is a “after TSA” stop, not a curbside errand. That timing means it works for early-morning coffee add-ons and late-evening snack runs.
Inventory is standard: a few New York–branded souvenirs under $20, travel-size toiletries, basic medicines like ibuprofen and cold tablets, plus a rotating rack of paperback bestsellers. Tech accessories run higher; expect to pay in the $20–$40 range for chargers or earbuds. If you need something more specialized than generic USB-C or Lightning, plan on ordering at your destination instead of gambling here.
Tip: hit Relay in Terminal B as you pass your first gate cluster, not the one closest to boarding; lines can spike to 10+ people in the 20 minutes before a big departure bank.
