Best charging spots

These are the most reliable places to charge at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport:

Jabbrrbox pods near Gate A2 and Gate B16 — enclosed private pods with guaranteed outlet access
Concourse B food-court mezzanine seating near Gold Star Chili and Bengals Bar & Kitchen
Gate seating rows throughout Concourse A and B with built-in charging strips

Dedicated charging stations

Jabbrrbox private charging/work pods (with outlets and USB ports) stand near Gate A2 and Gate B16; free lounge-style seating with power outlets is also available in the Concourse B food-court/mezzanine 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.

Paid charging options

None — the Jabbrrbox pods charge for private workspace/calls but charging itself is free; standard outlets throughout the terminal are free to use. 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

Because CVG's gates are split across two separate concourses reached only by the underground people mover, top off your charge before heading to your gate if you're connecting — outlet availability directly at some gate rows can be limited during peak banks.
