Pro Tips

  • 🔌 Carry your own cable: Kiosks have ports, not cables
  • 🔋 Power bank: Bring a charged one — never depend on airport power
  • Fast charge: Use your own wall adapter — kiosk USB is slow (5W)
  • 🔒 Security: Avoid public USB ports when possible — "juice jacking" risk. Use your own adapter in wall sockets
  • Café hack: Buy a coffee at Starbucks/CCD — guaranteed plug access near counter seats
