Five minutes from Gate 4 in Terminal 1, Electronics Store is the main spot at LUN for last‑minute tech. It sits airside after security in Terminal 1, so you don’t have to risk passport control or landside traffic just to grab a cable. Think small footprint, basic airport electronics, and staff who understand people are trying to make a boarding time, not browse for an hour.
Terminal 1 handles most international and regional flights, and this shop covers the basics: phone chargers, universal travel adapters, SD cards, basic headphones, and a few power banks. Pricing leans higher than Lusaka city shops, as usual for an airport, so assume a markup of 20–40% on simple items like USB‑C cables or plug adapters. Stock can be hit‑or‑miss on specific brands, so don’t expect the latest flagship gadgets.
Hours roughly track the first and last departures out of T1, opening around the early morning bank of flights and closing after the last evening services. If you land late on a delayed arrival after 22:00, don’t count on it being open. The sweet spot is mid‑morning to early evening when multiple flights to regional hubs go out and staff are fully on duty.
Think of Electronics Store as a backup, not your primary plan. Buy anything mission‑critical like laptop chargers or high‑capacity power banks in Lusaka before heading to the airport. Use this shop for forgotten essentials: a 3‑pin adapter for Zambia’s Type G sockets, an emergency charging cable, or cheap wired earbuds before a 2–3 hour regional hop. Tip: check your cable and adapter situation at security; if something’s missing, this is your last realistic fix inside Terminal 1.
