We have all been there; those moments at the airport
when your phone or computer battery dies and you still have a 3 hour wait just
to board your flight. Even worse, outlets have become one of the most difficult
things to find in DTW! Follow these easy travel tips to locate some
secret outlets that are hidden in the void that is the busy Detroit Metro
Airport:
·
Surprise! Sometimes power outlets are
hidden under a group of pay phones! Since almost everyone has a cell phone
these days, hit up these hidden gems and charge your technology in peace.
·
Watch out for the maintenance workers.
Their vacuums/carpet cleaners etc. have to be plugged in somewhere! Follow the
power cord to find out!
·
Find an airport bar. Yes, the kind with
liquor since the “work stations” will most likely be overrun with other
travelers. Ask the bartender if there is an outlet you can use. He/she will
usually oblige.
·
If you need to get a quick charge on
your phone but do not have a lot of time, restrooms, especially women’s,
usually have outlets near the counter. This short charging time will at least
give you a boost until you can find a more convenient place.
·
Finally, if all else fails, try and
remember to pack a small power strip in your personal item carry on. If there
are only a few outlets you can plug in the power strip and people will be able
to share.
