Gate-side coffee and magazines at Hudson News
Right in the Main Terminal departures area past security, Hudson News is the quick stop for coffee, bottled drinks, snacks, and last-minute reading material before flights out of Manchester-Boston. You’ll see it near the central gate cluster, so you don’t have to backtrack far from most MHT gates.
Hours generally track the flight schedule, opening early for the first morning departures and staying open until the last evening bank pushes out, so you can usually grab something even for a 5:30–6:00 a.m. flight. If you’re on the final departure wave, don’t cut it too close; smaller airports like MHT sometimes close shops 15–20 minutes after the last boarding call.
Expect standard airport pricing: bottled water around $3–$4, basic coffee in the $3 range, and packaged snacks a dollar or two higher than off-airport. Magazine racks carry mainstream titles plus a few regional New England options, and there’s the usual wall of candy, chips, and gum for the plane.
Hudson also stocks travel basics: phone cables, chargers, earbuds, neck pillows, and simple over-the-counter meds, handy if you forgot something in Manchester or on a connection. You’ll also see MHT and New Hampshire-branded T-shirts and keychains if you need a fast souvenir before heading out.
Tip: If you need both coffee and a charger, grab them here in one stop instead of walking the terminal twice; hit Hudson right after security, then head straight to your gate.
