Tech on the Go

5

Forgot a charger at home? Tech on the Go in T5 has you covered.

This small electronics shop sits airside in Terminal 5 at LAX, handy if you’ve cleared security and realize a cable is missing. Expect the usual travel tech: phone chargers, Lightning and USB-C cables, headphones, earbuds, power banks, and basic adapters. Prices run higher than Target or Amazon, but that’s standard airport markup, not outrageous souvenir-stand levels.

Tech on the Go sits along the main Terminal 5 concourse, a few minutes’ walk from most Delta gates. It focuses on grab-and-go gear rather than big-ticket items, so think sub-$60 headphones and power banks, not laptops or tablets. Inventory leans mainstream brands plus some generic accessories, fine for a short-term fix before a 5-hour LAX–JFK flight.

Most locations under this brand keep airport-friendly hours, often opening by 6:00 am and running into the late evening for the last bank of departures in Terminal 5. Figure it as a backup option if your gate’s power outlets are broken or already taken and you need a new cable before boarding group 3 is called. Staff usually ring you out in under 5 minutes, so it works on a tight connection.

Tip: check your cable and battery situation at home or at the rideshare drop-off; if anything looks sketchy, plan a quick stop at Tech on the Go after you clear Terminal 5 security so you’re not hunting for power right before boarding.
