Tech on the Go

Gate-side tech fix in Terminal 1

Right in Terminal 1, Tech on the Go covers the basics when you realize your charger is still at home. It sits past security near the central concourse, so you can grab a cable or battery pack without doubling back through checkpoints. Think “last-minute electronics kiosk” more than full electronics store.

Tech on the Go usually stocks phone chargers for major brands, standard USB-C cables, basic wired earbuds, and small accessories like travel outlet adapters. Prices run higher than Target or Best Buy, but you’re paying airport markups for convenience and not missing a flight over a dead phone. Figure roughly $20–$40 for most chargers and smaller gadgets.

Hours generally track Terminal 1’s first and last banks of flights, so you’ll often see it open from early morning departures through late-night arrivals. If you’re catching a 6:00 a.m. flight, don’t count on every shelf being fully restocked, but you should still find at least one compatible cable or power bank.

Selection leans toward practical, travel-sized tech instead of big-ticket gear. You might find Bluetooth earbuds in the $40–$80 range, basic portable speakers, and inexpensive phone grips. Don’t expect laptops, tablets, or serious camera equipment here; it’s more “my phone’s at 5%” than “I need a full upgrade.”

Tip: Check your cable type at the gate and snap a quick photo of the port on your device before you walk over; it makes it easier to match the right connector fast and get back to boarding in Terminal 1.
