Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Palm Springs International Airport:
- Courtyard charging wall beyond security — dedicated outlet/USB bank between the two concourses
- Sonny Bono Concourse gate seating (Gates 4-11)
- Agua Caliente Concourse gate seating (Gates 12-20)
Dedicated charging stations
A dedicated charging wall with multiple electrical outlets plus USB-A and USB-C ports is in the open-air courtyard beyond security, shared by both concourses.
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.
Paid charging options
None found. Free gate-area outlets are available throughout the terminal and are sufficient for most travelers — paid options are mainly useful if you need a secure place to leave your device unattended while it charges.
Pro Tip
PSP is small enough that the courtyard charging wall is never more than a couple of minutes' walk from any gate — top off there before boarding rather than hunting for an open outlet at a crowded gate during winter peak season (November–April).
