Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport:
- Pier D (expanded 2022) — USB-C standard throughout the new gate area
- Pier B (Southwest hub), gates B1–B15 — charging at most seats from 2021 upgrade
- Pier A food court area — dedicated charging table bars near the main Pier A connector
Dedicated charging stations
Dedicated charging bars are near food vendors in Piers A, B, and D; standalone charging kiosk towers are near gate clusters in Pier F (international area).
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.
Pro Tip
BWI's single circling terminal means all piers connect post-security — if your pier is crowded, a short walk to Pier D gets you to the newest charging infrastructure, which is often less busy.
