Gate-side power fix at InMotion
Two minutes from most central Terminal gates, InMotion is the airport’s main electronics shop for last‑minute cables, headphones, and chargers. It sits post-security in the Terminal concourse, so you can duck in after you clear TSA without backtracking. Think of it as the place you sprint to when your phone hits 3% and your cable suddenly fails.
InMotion usually opens early morning with the first bank of SLC departures and runs into the late evening departure push, matching most mainline flight banks. Prices run higher than downtown Salt Lake: expect to pay roughly $25–$40 for name‑brand charging cables and $80–$400 for noise‑cancelling headphones and earbuds. If you forgot a wall plug or international adapter before an overnight to Europe or Asia, you’ll find one here without leaving the secure side.
Stock leans on travel basics: Lightning and USB‑C cables, power banks, over‑ear and in‑ear headphones, Bluetooth speakers, plus some phone cases and screen protectors for current iPhone and Samsung models. They also carry airline‑friendly over‑ear headsets that work with in‑seat entertainment jacks, useful on Delta long‑hauls out of SLC. Portable battery packs often hit 10,000–20,000 mAh, enough to get through a full day of layovers.
If you’re short on time, walk the concourse with your eyes up: InMotion’s bright signage is easy to spot between food outlets near the center of the Terminal. Take 90 seconds at the entrance to confirm compatibility (Lightning vs USB‑C vs older micro‑USB) before you pay; swapping after boarding starts is a headache.
