# Charging your phone at MIA

MIA doesn't publish where its seat outlets are. Where to buy a charger or power bank by concourse, how late each shop opens, and how to arrive with a charged phone.

Charging at the gate

Don’t count on finding a free outlet. MIA doesn’t publish where passengers can plug in a phone, and its own green-travel tips ask passengers to **charge devices before arriving**. If you do find a working outlet at your gate, stay within reach of it. If your phone is low, the reliable fix is a charging cable or power bank from one of the shops MIA’s directory lists under tech.

Miami-Dade County’s travel advice is to pack a phone charger in your carry-on, alongside medication, documents and a change of clothes, in case your flight is delayed. The charging stations MIA does list, in Concourses D, E, F, G, H and J, are for **electric wheelchairs and mobility devices**, not phones.

MIA does list a paid option. Each [Wait n’ Rest private room](https://miaairportguide.com/amenities/sleeping-rest/) has a charging station, after security in Concourse D near Gate D15. The rooms are open 24 hours and booked by the hour, and you need a same-day flight with access to Concourse D.

## Where to buy a charger or power bank

These electronics shops are listed in MIA’s shopping directory under tech:

| Shop | Where | Listed hours |
| --- | --- | --- |
| InMotion | Concourse D, Level 2, by Gate D-20 | 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. |
| InMotion | Concourse D, Level 2 departures, before security | 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. |
| Tech on the Go | Concourse D, by Gate D-30 | 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. |
| InTune Electronics | Concourse E, Level 2 | 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. |
| Tech on the Go | Concourse F, by Gate F-11 | 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. |
| InMotion | Concourse G, Level 2 departures, before security | 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. |
| Tech on the Go | Concourse G, by Gate G-8 | 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. |
| InMotion | Concourse H, Level 2 departures, before security | 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. |
| InMotion | Concourse H, Level 2 departures | 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. |
| Brookstone | Concourse H, Level 2 departures | 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. |

Our [food and shops directory](https://miaairportguide.com/dining/) has each shop’s page, which you can open on the free [MIA-WiFi](https://miaairportguide.com/amenities/wifi/). If a shop wants cash, MIA has [ATMs](https://miaairportguide.com/amenities/atms/) on every level and [currency exchange booths](https://miaairportguide.com/amenities/currency-exchange/) in every terminal.

## Early morning, late at night, and Concourse J

MIA’s directory also files its newsstands under tech, and many open earlier and close later than the electronics shops. These are the long-hours ones by concourse:

| Newsstand | Concourse | Listed hours |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Hudson News | F | 4 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. |
| Hudson News | G | 4 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. |
| Miami News Now | D | 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. |
| Coconut Grove News | H | 4:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. |
| Miami News Connection | J | 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. |
| Hudson News | D and E | 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. |

Concourse J has no electronics shop in the directory, so Miami News Connection is where to look for a cable there.
