Gate-side tech stop with last‑minute cables and chargers
Source sits past security in Calgary’s Domestic terminal, usually near the main departures retail strip by the central food court. It’s the airport version of the Canadian electronics chain, so the layout feels familiar if you’ve seen one in a mall. Figure on a 3–5 minute walk from most B gates, a bit longer from the farther A gates.
Pricing runs higher than downtown Calgary: basic Lightning or USB‑C cables often hit the CAD $25–$35 range, and simple wired earbuds land around CAD $20. Portable power banks typically sit in the CAD $40–$80 bracket. You’re paying airport mark‑up, but if your only cable dies at 21:30 before a red‑eye, this is the place that bails you out.
Stock leans toward practical travel gear: universal adapters, memory cards for the camera crowd, basic Bluetooth headphones, and piles of phone cases for iPhone and Samsung models less than 3–4 years old. You’ll also see impulse toys and small gadgets under CAD $30 that work as kid bribes on a long Domestic–International connection.
Staff hours track flight banks, so you’ll usually find doors open from around 06:00 through the last Domestic departures wave in the late evening. Don’t count on late‑night help after 23:00, especially on quieter weekdays. Payment is standard: tap cards, major credit, and contactless from Apple Pay and Google Pay all work.
Tip: check your cable and power bank at your gate; if anything looks sketchy, Source is close enough for a fast replacement without risking a missed boarding call.
