Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at George Bush Intercontinental Airport:
- Terminal C (United), gates C25–C45 — most modern charging with USB-C at gate seats
- Connector Center food court (underground between A and E) — charging tables and kiosks
- Terminal E, gates E1–E20 (international) — dedicated charging benches near departure gates
Dedicated charging stations
Charging kiosk bars are near the main gate cluster areas in all five terminals; the underground Subway connector between terminals has charging at the Connector Center food court.
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.

IAH's underground Subway runs continuously between all five terminals — the Connector Center food court has charging tables where you can sit and charge while waiting for the next shuttle.
