Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Sacramento International Airport:
- Terminal B post-security food court near gates B3–B13 — charging kiosk towers with USB-C
- Terminal A near gates A10–A20 — dedicated charging kiosk bars with USB-A/C
- Inter-terminal pedestrian bridge — outlet strips at the seating benches mid-crossing
Dedicated charging stations
Dedicated charging kiosk towers are in the Terminal A food court near gates A10–A20 and in Terminal B near gates B3–B13.
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
SMF's pedestrian bridge between terminals is a convenient place to charge if both terminal food courts are busy — the bridge seating area often has available outlets and gets far less foot traffic.
