Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Wilmington International Airport:
- Airside gate seating in the 2023-expansion gate areas — the newest seats with built-in outlets and USB ports
- Riverwalk Restaurant and Bar seating, which has outlets at several tables
- Pre-security seating near Port City Java
Dedicated charging stations
Dedicated charging spots are marked with "Plug n Power Up" signage in gate-side seating clusters rather than as separate kiosk towers.
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
ILM is small enough that you're never far from a "Plug n Power Up" spot, but coverage is by designated seating cluster rather than at every single seat — top off your charge at your gate rather than assuming a random seat will have an outlet.
