Free Airport Wifi

[Crystalbast]

Anybody excited about the free airport Wifi over the holidays? I am an Itunes geek an will be excited to be able to stay current with my downloads. The is the first time that I will be taking my laptop. I'll just turn off the internet access while actually on the cruise.

I was just at BNA (Nashville) and was surprised they had free wifi (from Google/Boingo) but it wasn't at DFW or ONT. Is there a list of airports that offer free wifi, not only at the holidays but all the time?

I know there's free wifi at the Naples/Ft. Myers Florida airport.

Don't believe it's current. BNA isn't listed and HNL indicated as not free, but it is.

Not particularly; I've noticed it's free for AT&T customers at a lot of airports this year. I am guessing you are talking about downloading TV shows, not music? I honestly don't think you'll be able to download these from Itunes quickly in an airport.

It's not a current list, because I believe I got free wifi at PHL this year, but it's a useful start for those interested.

I got AT&T DSL specifically because there was free wifi in alot of places, but the connection at home was more down than up. I gave up and got cable. So now I'm on the hunt for free wifi when not at home.

AT&T is not unique in that aspect! I have AT&T only as the service provider for my iPhone.

Having traveled this past weekend I can tell you that Norfolk, VA and Phoenix, AZ have free wifi. Atlanta charges $4.95 to use their wifi although there were some free wifi networks within the airport although I was never able to log on.

Seattle airport is rolling out (permanent) free wi-fi after the first of the year. When asked if the Google give-away had spurred them, they said no, the plans were already in place.

Umm, not all airports have free WiFi (SEA going free in 2010), and some have had free WiFi for a long time such as LAS and YVR

I just thought of a couple of other things. First, not all of us are Americans so a US service provider doesn't help us although mine does have an agreement with AT&T.

I know that BUF does not have free wifi. They have a paid site called Bongo but I could never connect to it.

I know that GSP has free wifi. I know until Jan 15,2010 that free wifi is in the MEM airport. It was in our local paper about the free wifi

As of October, PIT, PHL and FLL had free wifi. Newark did not..

I was at DFW last weekend (FRI and MON) and to my understanding, their Wi-Fi was free. The list provided through the link shows that it is available for a fee. There were some areas where you could plug in your computer for free internet.

Here is where you can find a list of those airports where Google says they are providing free Wi-Fi for the holidays.

Ironically, many of the airports on their list already have free Wi Fi (like the Florida airports, Pittsburgh and Charlotte).

Interesting list, thanks for posting it. Surprised that DFW, LGA and JFK are not on that list. Surprised also that Virgin American is offering free WiFi on their flights.

PDX has free wifi also. They have for awhile now.

Denver airport has free wifi.
