Gate-side charger panic at CHS? InMotion covers you.
This InMotion sits airside in the Main terminal at Charleston International, after the single consolidated security checkpoint, so you don’t have to backtrack landside for cables or headphones. It’s the primary electronics shop once you’re past TSA, basically the only dedicated place to replace dead charging gear before boarding.
Expect the usual InMotion lineup: name-brand phone chargers, universal adapters, noise-cancelling headphones, Bluetooth earbuds, and power banks geared toward 2–10 hour flight days. Prices run above Amazon and Target, but that’s standard airport markup; think roughly $25–$40 for a cable or brick and much higher for premium headphones. Inventory leans Apple and Samsung, with some cross‑platform options on the wall racks.
Store hours generally track peak flight banks in the Main terminal, opening early for first departures around 4:30–5:00 a.m. and closing after the last evening wave, often near 9:00–10:00 p.m. If you’re on a very late arrival or red‑eye-style positioning flight, don’t count on it being open and grab what you need earlier in the day.
Best use case here: emergency replacements. Grab a Lightning or USB‑C cable, a 20W+ wall charger, or a mid‑capacity power bank that actually charges a modern phone at least twice. Skip big impulse buys like premium over‑ear headphones unless you’ve compared prices before; the Main terminal DFS or newsstands sometimes have cheaper basic cords if you just need something to limp through a 1–2 hour hop.
Tip: Check your charging situation while you’re still at the Main terminal security benches; if a cable is flaky, walk straight to InMotion before you lock into a far end gate with limited outlets.
