Hidden charging spots

You should always arrive at the airport two to three hours early. Taking into account long lines, checking in your luggage, and going through security, you want to leave yourself enough time. But sometimes, there are no long lines; you have to wait two hours at the gate until boarding.

Even if it is fully charged before arriving, going on your phone while waiting to board can drain the battery. If your battery is low, don’t worry. Most airports have USB chargers in the waiting lounge or seats at the gate. Also, check behind TVs and monitors; most of them also have USB connectors for your phone.
