Right by check-in in Terminal 1, Relay is your quick grab
By the main departures hall in Terminal 1, Relay is the go-to newsstand and travel shop at Lille Airport. It sits landside, so you can stop in before security or while waiting for arrivals. Think last-minute magazines, French newspapers, pocket-sized guides, and basic stationery alongside snacks and bottled drinks. Prices run slightly above downtown Lille, as expected for an airport shop, but nothing outrageous for a European regional field.
Post-security in Terminal 1, the smaller Relay kiosk focuses more on travel essentials than reading. You’ll find phone chargers, universal adapters, headphones, and neck pillows, plus basic toiletries and over-the-counter painkillers. Packaged sweets and chocolate bars sit near the counter, handy if you need something quick to carry onboard. Expect standard Relay brands you’ll recognize from French rail stations and other airports.
Opening hours track the first and last departures of the day in Terminal 1, roughly from early morning check-in waves through the final evening flights. Stock leans heavily toward short-haul needs, so you get snacks, water, and cable replacements, but not heavy-duty luggage. Staff handle a lot of small purchases, so card payments move faster than cash when things bunch up before a Ryanair or easyJet boarding.
One practical tip: grab your water, reading material, and any missing cable at the landside Relay before joining security queues in Terminal 1; the airside kiosk is smaller and can feel picked over on busy mornings.
