Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Albany International Airport:
- Business Center, Concourse C (second level) — most reliable charging plus WiFi and printing
- Gate seating on the renovated end of Concourse B, near the sensory room and Adirondack Imaginarium
- Main Terminal second-level seating near Uncommon Grounds coffee shop
Dedicated charging stations
The second-level Business Center on Concourse C has workstations with power access; no dedicated free-standing charging-kiosk towers were confirmed elsewhere in the terminal.
Bring your own charging cable — dedicated kiosk stations at US airports provide the power outlet but not the cable. USB-A, USB-C, and standard 120 V outlets are the most common configurations.
Paid charging options
None confirmed. Free gate-area outlets are available throughout the terminal and are sufficient for most travelers — paid options are mainly useful if you need a secure place to leave your device unattended while it charges.
Pro Tip
Top off your battery before heading to the gate if you can — ALB has only a handful of confirmed outlet clusters, especially in Concourse A, so don't count on finding a free plug exactly where you're sitting.
