From LAX to Dublin, This Month Brings Travelers Free WiFi Access

It seems like the smaller regional airports love providing their travelers with free WiFi, but unfortunately we find that the larger cities and hubs just aren’t down with the complimentary internet access. Recently we heard that access at Chicago’s airports was getting a little more affordable—although not free—and now it looks like the cheap connectivity is spreading to a couple more airports.

Obviously the airport in Los Angeles handles plenty of planes and people, and thankfully they’re now adding free WiFi to their list of offerings. Unfortunately there’s kind of a catch, so it’s not as simple as just logging on and streaming Netflix and Hulu for hours and hours. The new WiFi will be yours to enjoy for about 45 minutes.

After the freebie period expiries you’re looking at roughly $5 per hour or around $8 for the entire day. Apparently shelling out a little cash will get you access to “premium bandwidth,” which sounds like a plus even though we don’t know what that entails. All the bits and bites of data flowing throughout the concourse and terminals will make the airport the largest in the country offering up free WiFi—at least according to officials at LAX.

A long way from Los Angeles—like across the pond long—there’s another airport scoring fee-free WiFi. Ireland’s Dublin Airport has now flipped the switch on complimentary internet access across the airport. Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are now offering up free wireless broadband service, and there’s not even any registration or annoying signup process needed. Just navigate your WiFi enabled device over to “Dublin Airport Free WiFi,” and start doing your thing—happy surfing!
