Kansas City (MCI) Airport Charging Stations

Gate outlet coverage at Kansas City International Airport is widespread — outlets at nearly every gate seat. The brand-new 2023 single terminal has USB-A and USB-C integrated into seat rails at most gate positions throughout — among the most modern charging installations at any new US airport terminal. USB-C ports are available throughout the airport.

Best charging spots

These are the most reliable places to charge at Kansas City International Airport:

  1. Central food hall (2023 terminal) — USB-C at every table and counter seat
  2. Gate area near C1–C15 (southwest side) — integrated USB-C/A in seat rails
  3. Gate area near A1–A12 (east side, American/Delta) — USB-A/C at all seat positions

Dedicated charging stations

Dedicated USB-C/A fast-charge kiosks are near all gate clusters; the main food hall in the center of the terminal has charging built into every table and counter seat.

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

MCI's 2023 terminal is purpose-built for modern travelers — USB-C is the standard everywhere; if you flew through the old satellite terminals, the new single-terminal charging experience is dramatically better.
