Gate-side in Terminal A, Relay Travel is your basic last-minute stop
Right in Terminal A after security, Relay Travel is the airport newsstand setup: mags, drinks, snacks, and small travel gear in one compact space. You don’t walk here for character; you walk here because your flight is in 40 minutes and you forgot something.
Expect standard airport pricing, with bottled water and soft drinks running higher than downtown Warsaw supermarkets, and basic snacks priced in the usual “captive audience” range. If you want cheaper options, buy drinks and chips in the city before heading to Chopin; use Relay mainly for true gaps, not a full shop.
Stock leans toward grab-and-go items you can carry through a 2–3 hour short-haul flight: crisps, chocolate bars, packaged pastries, and single-serve sweets. You’ll also see paperback novels, Polish and international magazines, and a handful of children’s activity books that can actually save a 90-minute delay with kids.
Travel gear runs to the basics: EU plug adapters, phone charging cables, power banks, and simple neck pillows. Prices are higher than online, but if your only USB-C cable died somewhere between Śródmieście and Terminal A, this is the fastest fix before boarding.
One practical move: check your charger and headphones while you’re still at the security exit in Terminal A. If anything’s missing or broken, Relay Travel is close enough to grab a replacement without risking a boarding call sprint.
