Best charging spots

These are the most reliable places to charge at Washington Dulles International Airport:

Concourse B (United international) near gates B45–B55 — dedicated charging counters
AeroTrain platform areas between main terminal and Concourses B/C/D — charging benches
Main terminal Arrivals Hall Level 1 — outlet strips at the seating clusters

Dedicated charging stations

Charging stations are at the main terminal ticketing-level seating and in each concourse near the AeroTrain platform entrances; Concourse B (United international) has dedicated charging counters near gates B45–B55.

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.
