Tech2Go

Gate-side chargers when you forgot yours: Tech2Go in T1

Tech2Go sits airside in Terminal T1 at Gold Coast Airport, in the main departures retail strip after security. It’s the stop for last‑minute phone cables, power banks, and over‑ear or in‑ear headphones before you board. Stock tends to cover both Apple and Android, including Lightning, USB‑C, and older micro‑USB cords, plus travel adapters for AU/NZ, EU, UK, and US plugs.

Pricing runs higher than JB Hi‑Fi in town, but normal for airport markups: expect around AUD 25–40 for basic cables, AUD 50–120 for headphones, and AUD 40–90 for power banks. You’ll also see Bluetooth speakers, screen protectors, and small accessories like memory cards and USB sticks, handy if you need to move files on the fly. Payment is straightforward with major cards and contactless tap; no need to dig for cash.

Opening hours generally track flight banks, starting from early-morning departures and running through the last waves at night, though exact times flex with the schedule. Tech2Go is a good back‑up if the free airport charging points near the T1 gates are all taken and your battery is already under 20%. Stock turnover is decent, so you’re unlikely to find completely empty shelves on a normal day.

Tip: Check your device port type at your gate, then walk over once you’re sure; grabbing the wrong cable here is an expensive mistake to fix twice.
