WiFi & Charging
White Plains (HPN) Airport Charging Stations
Gate outlet coverage at Westchester County Airport is limited — bring a power bank. The terminal dates to a 1995 build-out that predates smartphones, and Westchester County officials have publicly acknowledged it 'lacks adequate charging stations.' Outlets exist but are not built into most gate seating, so plan to search rather than assume your row has power. USB-A and standard outlets are the primary charging options.

Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Westchester County Airport:
- Work counter with outlets in the post-security boarding lounge
- Wall outlets near The Traveler's Club / Purchase Country Diner seating (pre-security, Level 2)
- Seating near the gift shop and Dunkin' on the ticketing level
Dedicated charging stations
A small work counter with outlets was added near the post-security gate area; scattered wall outlets are also in the pre-security dining area near The Traveler's Club and Purchase Country Diner.
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
Charge before you fly if you can. A county-approved $100–150 million terminal renovation — still in the planning/proposal stage as of mid-2026 — specifically calls out expanded charging as a fix for this well-known gap, but it hasn't been built yet.
