Gate-side gadgets at IND’s Main Terminal
Just past security in the Main Terminal, InMotion Entertainment is the airport’s dedicated tech shop for last‑minute electronics. It sits in the central post‑security area, handy for both Concourse A and B gates, so you don’t have to commit to the wrong pier before you buy a charger or headset.
InMotion typically opens around the first bank of departures in the morning and runs until near the last departures at night, matching Main Terminal flight banks. Expect airport pricing: common USB-C or Lightning cables usually land in the $20–$35 range, and branded over-ear headphones can climb well past $200.
The shelves focus on travel tech: noise‑cancelling headphones, Bluetooth earbuds, portable power banks, charging bricks, travel adapters, and a few compact speakers. You’ll also see phone cases for the latest iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models, plus screen protectors they can install in a couple of minutes at the counter.
Skip impulse buys on big‑ticket headphones if you haven’t price‑checked; the same Sony, Bose, or Beats models can be $20–$60 cheaper online. For true emergencies—forgotten charger, dead cable, or a power bank under 20%—the convenience near the Main Terminal gates beats hunting for an outlet and hoping it works.
Tip: Bring your current device model to the counter and have staff confirm connector type and wattage before you pay, so you don’t board with a cable that won’t fast‑charge your phone or tablet.
