Gate-adjacent chargers and headphones when yours fail at ANC
InMotion Entertainment sits post-security in ANC’s South Terminal, and it’s the spot to hit when a cable dies right before a long haul. Expect the usual airport markup: basic USB-C or Lightning cables around $20, name-brand noise-cancelling headphones well past $200, and plenty of mid-range options in between. Stock leans heavy on phone accessories and travel tech rather than movies or games.
Hours typically track with South Terminal traffic, often opening around the first bank of departures and staying open past the last evening flights; overnight closures are common, so don’t count on a 2 a.m. emergency run. You’ll see racks of headphones, Bluetooth speakers, portable batteries up to 20,000 mAh, plus universal plug adapters for anyone coming through Anchorage en route to Asia or Europe.
Best use here: grab a power bank or replacement wall brick before a multi-leg trip, especially if you’re flying out on a late Alaska Airlines or Delta departure from the South side. Skip big items like over-ear headphones if you can wait for downtown pricing; the airport premium at ANC runs high compared with Anchorage retail stores. Staff usually help with compatibility checks, so bring your device to test cables on the spot.
Tip: if your gate is in the North Terminal for an international flight, shop InMotion in South first while you’re changing terminals; options are thinner once you ride the shuttle over.
