RELAY
Finding it
RELAY is in North Concourse in Terminal B at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
Terminal B has 20 places to eat and 26 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.
Hours against the security queue
RELAY opens at 5am and closes at 1:30am. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical LAX checkpoint queue at 9 minutes around 5am.
Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes. This location is already open before those queues build.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
RELAY runs from 5am to 1:30am in Terminal B's North Concourse, one of the longer operating windows among the shops near America!, Be Relax and Book Soup Bookstore. That stretch covers the concourse's first morning departures through its latest arrivals, with little overlap against Be Relax next door, which keeps spa hours rather than newsstand hours. The shelves mix magazines and paperbacks with electronics, snacks and a section of masks and hand sanitizer, stock that dates back to the pandemic-era travel-essentials category still carried here. It's the only RELAY at LAX, so there's no comparable branch elsewhere in the terminal.
