Gate-side cables in Terminal 2
Tech on the Go sits in Terminal 2 at DCA and mainly saves people who forgot a charger or need last‑minute headphones. Expect standard airport pricing: think $25–$40 for power banks and $20–$35 for brand‑name earbuds. It’s inside security, so you can duck in between boarding groups without leaving the concourse.
The shop focuses on travel tech: phone chargers, international plug adapters, USB‑C and Lightning cables, over‑ear and in‑ear headphones, plus basic laptop accessories. You’ll also see portable speakers and smaller items like screen wipes and USB thumb drives, all stocked in compact wall sections so you can be in and out in under 5 minutes. Inventory skews toward mainstream brands you’d recognize from big box stores.
Hours usually track Terminal 2 flight banks, opening early with the 5–6 a.m. departures and staying open into the evening push around 9–10 p.m. If you’re on a late night arrival after 11 p.m., don’t count on it being open. Staff can usually test a cable on your phone at the counter so you don’t walk away with the wrong connector type.
Biggest value here: grabbing exactly the cable or adapter you need instead of gambling on a $15 vending machine brick at another gate. Check your seat map and aircraft type before you walk over; if your plane only has USB‑A power, match your cable here so you’re not offline for a 3‑hour hop.
