Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Northwest Arkansas National Airport:
- Business centers scattered throughout the terminal — desks with outlets and USB ports
- Escape Lounges (Concourse A, near Gates A1–A11) — paid access includes charging stations
- Newer gate-area seating in the expanded section of Concourse A (added in the 2024 expansion)
Dedicated charging stations
Several business centers throughout the terminal have desks with power outlets and USB ports (type not specified by the airport); the paid Escape Lounge (Concourse A, near Gates A1–A11) has additional charging stations included with lounge access.
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 as a standalone kiosk; Escape Lounge access ($45 pre-book / $55 walk-in) includes charging as part of general lounge amenities rather than a separate paid charging service.. 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
XNA doesn't publicize USB-C availability, so bring your own USB-A-to-device cable or a wall adapter to be safe — the business centers scattered through the terminal are your most reliable bet if a gate-side outlet is taken.
