Gate-side panic about a dead phone? This is your fix.
Airside in Terminal GAT, the simply named Electronics Store covers the basics: headphones, charging cables, power banks, travel adapters and a few small gadgets. It opens early for commuters, 07:00–21:00 Monday to Saturday, and a bit later on Sundays, 09:00–21:00, so it catches almost every departure bank at Augsburg Airport (AGB).
Pricing follows the usual airport pattern. Frequent flyers on Reddit talk about airport tech running 20–50% higher than Amazon or city electronics chains, and there’s no sign this shop is an exception. Think €15–20 for a basic cable, €30–50 for branded earbuds, and power banks easily over €30. You are paying to fix a problem at the last minute, not to score a bargain.
Regulars in r/TravelHacks say they try to avoid buying electronics in terminals at all, and instead keep spare cables and a compact charger in their carry-on. If you do have to buy here, stick to small, urgent items: a missing EU plug adapter, a lost USB‑C cable, or a simple wired headset so you can make a call or watch a movie on a short GAT flight.
Tip: before you walk over from your gate in GAT, double‑check every pocket for your original charger and adapter; saving even €20 on a cable is better than any airport impulse buy.
