Heathrow's Shift To Blended Retail Is A Big Win For Relay And WH Smith
The French Relay brand (shown here at Lisbon Airport) is coming to the U.K. for the first time. ... More (Photo by Horacio Villalobos#Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) So-called 'blended retail' is coming to London Heathrow Airport following a review of the airport's convenience/travel essentials retail offering to passengers. As a result, new concepts from France's Relay brand, owned by Lagardère Travel Retail (LTR), and from existing partner, WH Smith, will be launching soon. The Relay fascia is debuting belatedly in the U.K., having already spread to many airports in Europe and the United States, with the latter market being served via LTR's subsidiary, Paradies Lagardère. In total, the brand is present in approximately 300 airports worldwide, with the most recent launch at Türkiye's Antalya Airport. The new deal with the two retailers will lead to the implementation of blended stores appearing across all of Heathrow's four terminals (T2, T3, T4, and T5). From summer 2026, Relay will launch a blended travel essentials offer in Terminal 2—The Queen's Terminal, where four stores will have a total footprint of more than 14,6000 square feet. In the upper-level departures area, a 4,500-square-foot unit will have a pharmacy alongside a mix of travel essentials. The largest of lower-level shops (at 5,300 square feet) in the main retail thoroughfare will offer books, souvenirs, toys, and to-go food and drink. LTR will also operate a satellite 'Discover' souvenir concept store and a landside Relay shop in the check-in hall. The CEO of LTR UK & Ireland, Peter Newbould, said he was hopeful the Heathrow contract would open doors. 'By making Relay a success at Heathrow, we will open up further opportunities to develop our three business lines across the U.K. market,' he said. LTR's new joint-CEO, Frédéric Chevalier, has described Heathrow as 'renowned for its progressive and inventive approach to commercial activities,' and having Relay stores there will certainly shine a light on the concept, which is expanding. Meanwhile, WH Smith gets the bulk of the new concessions. It will open travel essentials stores in T3 and T4, and extend its presence in Terminal 5. The U.K.-listed retailer will also become the main airside health and beauty provider in T3 and T4, and will provide a pharmacy offer across each of the three terminals. A coffee and bakery offer will also be part of the mix. The change, once completed, means WH Smith will operate more than 20 stores at the London hub. Research drives Heathrow move Heathrow said that the changes are based on feedback from thousands of passengers about how retail can support time-pressed travellers. Hence the decision to put key product categories such as news, books, health and beauty under one roof in each terminal. The airport's retail director, Fraser Brown, said the new retail strategy would be 'transformational.' On extending its relationship with WH Smith, he added: 'For nearly 80 years, Heathrow and WHSmith have had a successful partnership, bringing new and innovative retail experiences for passengers.' WH Smith has tried-and-tested blended retail stores at Heathrow. This one is in T2. Andrew Harrison, CEO of WH Smith UK Travel, described its one-stop-shop format as 'a proven model' and added that the company would, following this deal, be 'taking a significant step forward' in its health, beauty, and pharmacy proposition at Heathrow. Research commissioned by WH Smith in 2023 to understand passenger views on its offering at the London hub identified a demand for a broader essentials offering where passengers could find a range of products in one place. The same year, Heathrow commissioned some of its own research using Trinity McQueen, a consultancy specializing in behavioral insights and market research. It found that the strongest motivator for passengers to pick up travel essentials from the airport is knowing they could get everything they needed quickly (just under a quarter of 1,075 participants said this). A week ago, Heathrow unveiled a sizeable £10 billion ($13.5 billion), five-year investment plan to improve service levels. As part of the fully privately financed project that will add— for the first time in a decade—new terminal space for lounges, shops, and restaurants within its terminals. On completion, assuming the airport gets approval from Britain's civil aviation authority, Heathrow will be able to serve 10 million more passengers a year, a 12% increase in capacity. This will support airlines' growth plans and help keep the hub in pole position as Europe's busiest gateway.

Summer 2025: Your Essential Apple Travel Gear Guide
Planning your summer 2025 travels? Equipping yourself with the right Apple gear can significantly enhance your journey, making sure you remain connected, organized, and stress-free. Whether you're navigating crowded airports, exploring remote destinations, or capturing unforgettable moments, Apple-compatible accessories can elevate your travel experience. The video below from Stephen Robles highlights the essential gear to consider for your next adventure. Watch this video on YouTube. Power Solutions: Keep Your Devices Charged Making sure your devices stay charged is critical when traveling, as they often serve as your map, communication tool, and entertainment hub. Portable chargers, such as high-capacity power banks, are indispensable for long flights, road trips, or days spent exploring. Opt for models that support fast charging and Apple's MagSafe technology for added convenience and efficiency. Apple's USB-C power adapters are another excellent choice, especially for international travel. These compact and lightweight adapters provide reliable charging while occupying minimal space in your luggage. For travelers visiting multiple countries, consider a universal adapter that supports various plug types. With the right power solutions, you can avoid the frustration of dead batteries and stay connected no matter where your journey takes you. AirTags: Track and Secure Your Belongings Misplaced luggage or lost items can disrupt even the most carefully planned trips. Apple's AirTags offer a simple yet effective way to keep track of your belongings. Attach an AirTag to your suitcase, backpack, or keys, and use the Find My app to locate them in real time. The precision tracking feature and audible alerts make it easy to recover items, whether they're across the airport or hidden in your hotel room. To enhance durability, pair your AirTags with protective keychains or holders designed to withstand the rigors of travel. These accessories not only safeguard your AirTags but also ensure they remain securely attached to your belongings. With AirTags, you can travel confidently, knowing your essentials are always within reach. Travel Accessories: Optimize Your Journey The right travel accessories can make a significant difference in your overall experience. Noise-canceling AirPods Pro are ideal for blocking out distractions during flights or train rides, allowing you to enjoy music, podcasts, or audiobooks in peace. For Apple Watch users, compact chargers ensure your device stays powered, allowing you to track your activity, monitor your health, and stay on schedule. Multi-port travel hubs and adapters are invaluable for managing multiple devices. These tools allow you to charge and connect your gadgets seamlessly, whether you're working remotely or organizing photos from your trip. If you're a photography enthusiast, consider investing in portable tripods or gimbals compatible with iPhones to capture stunning, steady shots of your adventures. For added convenience, Apple's MagSafe wallets or cardholders can help you keep your essentials organized and easily accessible. These accessories attach securely to your iPhone, combining functionality with sleek design. Device Protection: Guard Against Damage Travel can expose your devices to potential damage, making protective cases and covers essential. Rugged cases with shock-absorbing materials are ideal for shielding your iPhone or iPad from accidental drops and impacts. If your plans include outdoor adventures or beach days, waterproof cases provide an extra layer of protection against water damage. For MacBooks, consider slim yet durable sleeves that offer a balance of protection and portability. These sleeves safeguard your laptop from scratches and minor impacts without adding unnecessary bulk to your luggage. Investing in high-quality protective gear can save you from costly repairs and ensure your devices remain in excellent condition throughout your trip. Connectivity: Stay Online and Synced Reliable internet access is essential for staying connected while traveling. Portable Wi-Fi hotspots or eSIM solutions provide consistent connectivity, even in remote areas. These tools are particularly useful for navigating unfamiliar locations, staying in touch with loved ones, or working on the go. Before embarking on your trip, update your devices with the latest software and back up your data to iCloud. Apple's Continuity features, such as Handoff and Universal Clipboard, enable seamless transitions between devices, making multitasking more efficient. Additionally, downloading offline maps and travel apps can help you navigate without relying solely on internet access. With the right connectivity tools, you can stay productive and in touch, no matter where your travels take you. Travel Smarter with Apple Gear By equipping yourself with the right Apple travel gear, you can make your summer 2025 adventures smoother, more organized, and enjoyable. From portable power solutions and AirTags for tracking to protective cases and connectivity tools, these essentials ensure your devices remain functional and secure. Investing in the right accessories allows you to navigate your journey with confidence, convenience, and ease, making sure every moment of your trip is as seamless as possible.

British retailer WH Smith posts revenue growth on robust travel demand
(Reuters) - British travel retailer WH Smith reported on Wednesday a 4% rise in its group revenue for the 21-week period ended Jan. 25, fuelled by higher footfall as more people travelled during the Christmas holiday season. The retailer, which sells products ranging from sandwiches to books at travel hubs like airports and railway stations, maintained its forecast "of another year of good growth" in 2025. The increase in minimum wages announced in the UK's budget last October, likely to impact around 3 million workers, has boosted the 2025 outlook for the travel industry. Revenue from WH Smith's Travel Essentials business, the fastest-growing segment of its North American division, saw a 20% growth on a constant currency basis. Analysts anticipate that this year, consumers will continue to prioritize experiences like dining out and holidays over other discretionary expenses. The group, with a focus on expanding its footprint in North America, said it plans to open about 60 stores this year in the region.
