T1’s Capi is your gadget stop before European departures
Capi sits airside in Terminal T1 at Geneva Airport and focuses almost entirely on travel electronics. You’ll see the usual wall of headphones and earbuds from big brands right by the entrance, plus power banks and universal adapters that actually work in Switzerland and the EU. Prices track typical airport markup: expect 10–20% more than downtown Geneva, but it beats landing with a dead phone and no charger.
The shop leans hard into last‑minute fixes: USB‑C, Lightning, and older micro‑USB cables hang in clearly labeled racks, and you can grab SD cards for cameras up to large 256 GB sizes. There’s also a shelf of travel plugs covering UK, EU, US, and AU standards, useful if you’re connecting beyond Europe. Staff usually speak French and English, sometimes German, and can point you to gear that matches your specific laptop or phone model.
You’ll also find mid-range Bluetooth speakers, noise‑cancelling headsets good enough for a 2–3 hour hop, and basic laptop sleeves that fit 13–15 inch machines. This isn’t the spot for hardcore photography or pro‑audio kit, but it does carry simple action‑cam accessories and generic tripods that fit most phones. Returns typically have to go through the Geneva T1 branch with receipt, so keep that slip in your passport wallet.
Plan 5–10 minutes here between security and your T1 gate; queues spike around the morning wave of flights between 07:00 and 09:00, so grab the adapter or cable before breakfast instead of on the way to boarding.
