Gate-side tech stop in CMH’s Terminal T
InMotion Entertainment sits post-security in Terminal T at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, so you can duck in between boarding groups. It’s the airport’s main electronics shop, focused on last-minute cables, headphones, and travel gadgets when your bag didn’t quite make the cut.
You’ll see the usual big brands here: Beats and Sony headphones, JBL portable speakers, and Apple/USB-C charging cables hanging on the wall. Prices run higher than Target or Best Buy, but roughly in line with typical airport markup, so expect to pay a few dollars more on a $20–$40 accessory.
Hours generally mirror peak flight banks in Terminal T, with the store opening for early departures and closing after the last evening flights. If you land on a late-night arrival into CMH, don’t count on it being open past about 9–10 p.m., especially on lighter traffic days.
Inventory leans heavily on essentials: phone chargers, power banks, international plug adapters, and wired earbuds for under $30. You’ll also find memory cards, basic laptop accessories, and some travel-sized gaming and audio gear that can keep kids occupied on a 2–3 hour flight out of Columbus.
Watch out for impulse upgrades on premium headphones in the $200+ range if you just need something for one short trip. For most travelers, a mid-range pair around $60–$100 or a simple cable fix is the smarter move here.
Quick tip: check your charging cable and earbuds at the gate before boarding; if anything is glitchy, you’ve still got time to swing back to InMotion in Terminal T and swap in a backup.
