Tri-Cities (PSC) Airport Charging Stations
Gate outlet coverage at Tri-Cities Airport is limited — bring a power bank. PSC's small single terminal provides charging stations in the gate-side waiting lounges rather than a built-in outlet at every seat; the airport does not publish exact outlet counts per gate, and USB-C availability is not confirmed. USB-A and standard outlets are the primary charging options.

Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Tri-Cities Airport:
- West Concourse gate seating (Gates 3–5) — the newer of the two concourses from the 2017 renovation
- Grand Rendezvous Café seating, pre-security, while waiting to clear the checkpoint
- East Concourse waiting lounge (Gates 1–2)
Dedicated charging stations
Charging stations are located in the seating areas of both concourses — East (Gates 1–2) and West (Gates 3–5) — though the airport doesn't publish an exact map of outlet locations.
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
With only 5 gates and a short walk from check-in to any gate, top off your device at the pre-security café if the post-security charging spots near your gate are occupied — you won't lose meaningful time walking back.
