Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Philadelphia International Airport:
- Terminal A-East (American), gates 1–25 — USB-C at most seats in the renovated wing
- B/C Connector food hall — dedicated charging table bars throughout
- Terminal F (international) departure lounge — dedicated charging counters near international gates
Dedicated charging stations
Dedicated charging kiosk bars are in the A-West and B/C Connector food areas; Terminal F (international) has dedicated charging counters near the departure gate lounge.
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
PHL's terminals all connect post-security — if your terminal has limited outlets, the B/C Connector food hall has the densest charging in the complex and is within a 5-minute walk of any gate.
