Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport:
- McNamara Terminal, Concourse A centerpoint food court — largest cluster of charging tables
- Concourse A tram stations near A24 and A57 — charging benches at both tram stops
- North Terminal food court near gates A1–A20 (Spirit/Southwest) — USB-A at all tables
Dedicated charging stations
Charging kiosk bars are at the central hub food court (Concourse A centerpoint) and near tram platforms; North Terminal has dedicated charging stations near gates A1–A20.
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
DTW's McNamara Terminal is one long corridor — the tram stations at A24 and A57 act as natural charging hubs; if your gate is far down the concourse, head to the nearest tram stop for a guaranteed outlet.
