Gate-side tech stop at InMotion Entertainment
Phone battery at 12% and boarding in 30 minutes? InMotion Entertainment in Denver International Airport fills the classic “I forgot my cable” gap with name-brand chargers, adapters, and headphones. Shops like this usually sit in the Jeppesen Terminal or concourses close to main gate clusters, so you won’t lose much time backtracking. Expect airport pricing on accessories, but it still beats landing with a dead phone and no way to charge in an Uber.
Most InMotion locations stock Apple Lightning, USB-C, and older micro-USB cables on the same wall, along with power banks typically in the 5,000–20,000 mAh range. You’ll also see Bluetooth headphones from major brands plus cheaper house-label options if you just need something for a 2–3 hour flight. Many travelers grab over-ear noise-cancelling models here instead of waiting for airline-branded headsets that often run $8–$10 per flight.
Staff usually help check compatibility if you’re not sure whether that USB-C brick will fast-charge your specific Samsung or iPhone 15. Prices run higher than Target or Best Buy, but you’re trading maybe $5–$20 extra for the ability to plug in before a 1,000-mile leg. Inventory also tends to include international plug adapters, which matters if you’re connecting through DEN to Europe or Asia and forgot to pack one.
Practical tip: before paying, plug a demo cable into your own phone at the counter to confirm it fits and charges; swapping after you leave the store is a hassle in a packed concourse.
