These are the most reliable places to charge at James M. Cox Dayton International Airport:
- New cluster/table-style gate seating in Concourse A — part of the 1,100-seat renovation with the highest outlet density
- Gate-hold seating in Concourse B near MVP Bar & Grill

Dedicated charging stations
No dedicated free-standing charging kiosks or towers are publicized — charging is built directly into the gate-hold seating itself in both Concourse A and Concourse B.
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
DAY's charging outlets are built into specific seats rather than wall strips, and only about half the gate-hold seats have them — head to your gate as soon as you clear security to claim a powered seat, especially during the morning departure bank.
