Gate-side magazines and snacks before your SXB flight
Relay at Strasbourg Airport sits in the departures area after security, right along the main path to the gates. It’s the standard French newsstand setup: newspapers, magazines, pocket novels, and last‑minute gifts packed into a tight space. You’ll also find bottled drinks and grab‑and‑go snacks if you skipped the café before security.
Opening hours roughly track the first and last departures of the day, so Relay is usually open from early morning check‑in through the final evening flights. Expect typical airport pricing: a soft drink around €3, a basic paperback novel around €8–€12, and simple souvenirs starting at about €5. Cards are accepted, and contactless works quickly, which matters when boarding starts in 20 minutes.
Stock leans toward French‑language titles, but there’s normally a small English‑language shelf with travel guides, thrillers, and a few kids’ books. Gift items include Strasbourg and Alsace‑themed keychains, magnets, and chocolate boxes, plus practical items like USB cables and basic headphones under €20. If you forgot a pen for landing cards, they usually have a multipack near the counter.
Tip: sort your reading material and water here before you head to the specific gate; there’s often nothing smaller or closer once you walk down to the end of the pier for boarding.
