Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Portland International Airport:
- Concourse D (Alaska/Southwest) window-facing seats — dedicated USB-C/A charging bars throughout
- Main terminal food hall — USB-C/A charging built into all counter seating
- Concourse C (Delta/American), gates C1–C15 — USB-C at most gate seats
Dedicated charging stations
Dedicated charging counters are along the window-facing seating in Concourse D (Alaska/Southwest); the main terminal food hall has dedicated USB-C/A charging bars built into the counter seating.
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
PDX's airport authority invested heavily in charging infrastructure throughout the recent concourse refresh — you can count on finding USB-C at your actual gate seat without hunting for a kiosk.
