Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Charlotte Douglas International Airport:
- Concourses D and E (American expansion) — newest seats with USB-C at most positions
- Main food court between Concourses B and C — dedicated charging at every table
- Concourse A near gates A1–A12 (close to security) — charging bars near the checkpoint exit
Dedicated charging stations
Dedicated charging kiosk towers are near the connector passageways between concourses; the main food court between Concourses B and C has charging at all table seating.
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
CLT's linear layout spans Concourses A through E — locate your gate, then find the nearest charging spot early; outlet strips are at every cross-concourse connector junction along the walk.
