InMotion

Gate-side chargers and cables in T1

Right in Aberdeen T1’s departures area, InMotion covers the basics for anyone whose phone, tablet, or laptop is running on fumes. It sits post-security, so you can grab a new cable or power bank after clearing the single main checkpoint. Expect typical airport pricing: a simple USB-C cable often lands around £15–£20, and branded power banks climb from about £30 upward.

InMotion leans into last-minute essentials rather than big-ticket toys. You’ll usually find travel adapters that match EU and US outlets, over-ear and in-ear headphones from familiar brands, plus spare chargers for both iPhone and Android. Inventory flexes with flight banks out of T1, so if you’re on an early morning 06:00–08:00 departure, stock can be thinner right after the rush.

The shop opens in line with T1’s early traffic, typically before the first 05:30–06:00 departures, and stays open into the evening wave that covers 19:00–21:00 flights. Staff can usually test a cable or adapter with an in-store device so you don’t find out at gate 10 that the wrong plug is in your bag. Receipts are easy to use for returns if your kit is faulty and you’re back through ABZ within a week or two.

Practical tip: if your battery is already under 10% when you hit security, head straight to InMotion after screening, grab a power bank first, then browse snacks or coffee later. That saves you scrambling for a free outlet near the T1 gates when boarding starts.
