Gate-side newsstand in T1 after security
Right after security in T1, Relay is the main stop for magazines, snacks, and last‑minute essentials before you hit the gates. It sits airside, so you need a boarding pass in hand; useful if you forgot something in town and are already through checks.
Opening hours typically track the main morning and evening banks of flights at WRO, with doors open from early morning into late evening on busy days. You’ll pay airport pricing: bottled drinks and basic snacks often run a few złoty higher than in the city, but it’s still manageable for a quick grab.
Relay carries Polish and international press, plus simple travel items like power adapters, charging cables, and basic toiletries. Expect standard packaged sandwiches, chocolate bars, crisps, and soft drinks, not a hot food counter. If you want a proper meal over 25–30 minutes, pair this stop with a café or restaurant elsewhere in T1.
Payment is straightforward: cards are accepted for small purchases, and contactless works smoothly for a 10–20 PLN snack run. Staff usually move lines quickly during the morning rush, but you can still lose 5–10 minutes if multiple flights board at once.
Tip: If you care about reading material, hit Relay right after security in T1; popular English-language titles can be gone by mid‑afternoon on busy travel days.
