Can I recharge my phone at ATL for free?
Yes — power outlets and USB ports at most gate areas are free to use.
Power outlets and USB ports at Hartsfield-Jackson are free to use throughout the airport's gate areas, lounge spaces, and charging hubs. There are no per-use fees for standard charging.
Larger charging hubs at the Plane Train atriums on each concourse offer 15-25 outlets each, plus seating with built-in USB ports. These hubs are particularly useful for travelers with longer layovers who need extended charging time.
Wireless charging pads are available at select gate areas (primarily Concourse A and E) for Qi-enabled devices. Look for the wireless charging icon on charging stations.
Bring a portable charging adapter with multiple ports if traveling with multiple devices — many gate-area outlets only have 2-4 plugs and can be in high demand during peak times. The premium charging stations at airline lounges (Sky Clubs, The Club ATL) typically have more capacity.
