Southwest Power Stations
These things have probably been around for a while already, but I only just noticed them last Saturday when I traipsed through SeaTac at unbelievably early hours in the morning: Southwest Power Stations.
They’re this bar-stool toting fake granite slabs dotted around the Southwest terminal at probably most airports. All I know for sure is that you can find them in Seattle, Phoenix, and San Antonio.
I’m not sure why they decided bar stools were the best seat for computing, but I’m glad to find more and more places dedicated to sitting down and plugging in. I tend to do a lot of traveling where I have a layover that is at least 45 minutes.
A quick charge can go a long way, if you’ll excuse the pun.

saw these in Denver also. A very welcomed addition that will help reduce the need for terminal socket searching. Now if we could just get free wifi mandated in all FAA regulated airports. They collect enough “pfc” fees anyway. Free WiFi would cost less than pennies per passenger. But then, the Airports wouldn’t get that additional revenue boost from the providers in addition to the fees and tax subsidies they already receive… I always thought these were “public facilities”
