Gate-side cables at T1 so you’re not hunting outlets

InMotion sits airside in Gold Coast’s T1, handy if you spot a low battery after security and don’t want to backtrack. It opens at 5:00am, so early Jetstar and Virgin departures can grab last‑minute gear, and it stays open through the evening push until 8:00pm. Think of it as the electronics stop between coffee and boarding, not a place you plan a big shop around.

This is a straightforward airport electronics store: expect phone chargers, power banks, travel adaptors, headphones and a few speakers, all at standard airport markup rather than city prices. You’ll usually find both Apple and Android charging options on the racks, plus multi‑country adaptors for Asia, Europe and North America, which matters if you realise at T1 that your hotel room won’t match your plugs. Prices are higher than JB Hi‑Fi in town, but the trade‑off is solving the problem five minutes before boarding.

Stock leans heavily into travel basics, so don’t come here looking for niche camera lenses or gaming rigs; think Bluetooth earbuds, over‑ear noise‑cancelling sets and carry‑on‑friendly gadgets that fit under the seat on a 737 or A320. Staff are used to tight boarding times, so they’ll usually ring you up fast if you say your gate closes in 10 minutes. One practical tip: check the return policy on higher‑ticket items at the counter before you tap your card, especially if you’re flying straight out of Australia for a while.
