Gate-side basics in T1: Relay keeps you stocked
Relay in Tenerife Sur’s T1 sits airside after security, so you can grab last‑minute items without doubling back landside. It’s the standard airport newsstand setup: snacks, drinks, books, magazines, and small travel accessories stacked close together. Think quick in‑and‑out stop between passport control and the Schengen/non‑Schengen gate split.
Expect typical Spanish airport pricing: bottled water around €2, soft drinks closer to €3, and branded chocolate or sweets a bit higher than city supermarkets. They usually carry Spanish titles like El País alongside English and German holiday reads, plus puzzle books for a 4‑hour flight home. Basic tech like charging cables and cheap wired earphones sit on hooks by the counter.
The T1 location leans heavy on impulse food: packaged sandwiches, crisps, and candy you can eat at the gate. Coffee comes from a basic machine rather than a full café setup, so think functional caffeine, not specialty brew. Refrigerated shelves hold cold soft drinks and juices you can bring on board after security without issue.
Most flights at TFS start boarding 30–40 minutes before departure, so hit Relay before you head down to the specific gate clusters. One practical tip: if you care about reading options, walk the store’s full length once; the better book and magazine stock usually sits in the middle section, not by the entrance.
