Best charging spots

These are the most reliable places to charge at John Wayne Airport:

  1. Window-counter seating along the full terminal length — built-in USB-A/C outlet strips
  2. Gate area near gates 8–14 — highest concentration of window-counter charging
  3. Post-security food court seating — outlet strips at all tables

Dedicated charging stations

SNA is a 14-gate airport where you're never more than 50 feet from a charging outlet — the compact design works in your favor; window-counter seating has the best built-in charging in the terminal.
