I'd be quite surprised if there weren't. Other than Vienna, I've never been to an airport that didn't have outlets accessible. miguel -- Hit The Road!

Thanks
I guess I was not really questioning if there were outlets, but how easy to they were to access.

I have been to SLC before and numerous other airports, and I have never had a problem plugging in my laptop. I do carry a six foot extension cord with me so that if I am not able to find a seat within two or three feat of a power outlet, I can usually find one within six feet. |

Presumably the custodial staff throws a circuit breaker to use them, then turns it back off so children can't electrocute themselves during the day. -- Randy Hudson |

Not a problem, but sometimes you have to be willing to sit on the floor when all the power outlets near the seats are in use by other travelers who have laptops. Carrying one of those six foot extension cords from a dollar store helps greatly in some situations. I not only carry one of those, but I have a passthrough port on the end -- So I can plug-in without using up an outlet. Even if they're already all taken, I can usually talk someone into letting me plug-in too since it just means I unplug them for about 3 seconds. I don't even take my laptop out of my bag if I have a short layover, I just leave it in the bag and have everything pre-wired and ready to roll. Inside my bag I typically have my laptop and my portable DVD player connected. I could also connect up some other chargers, but I rarely run out of juice on anything else. -- This post is double ROT13'd for extra security.

I've seen it in several airports, but I don't know if it was to keep children from electrocuting themselves (I thought it was to discourage laptop users from sitting on the floor in the corridors). SFO comes to mind, and I know there were several on the USA east coast. |
