After adding tons of US airports to our WiFi Map, we've decided to take it international. And thanks to some of our ever-mobile tipsters, we can fill you in on a couple spots right away.
Naha Airport in Okinawa has free internet at all the ANA gates, and Kuala Lumpur International has WiFi throughout, including in its Low Cost Carrier Terminal. In Europe, a tipster reports that there's no trouble getting online at Shannon International.
This doesn't mean we're giving up on domestic airports, btw. Lately we've heard that Gerald R. Ford International in Grand Rapids has WiFi as does Bradley International outside Hartford, Connecticut.

You may not think of Cincinnati as a major airport city, but the Delta hub just south of town means more than a few passengers have layovers at CVG. Luckily, the airport just announced it'd be offering free wireless to flyers through a partnership with a couple local companies.
True, it's ad-supported, but we're not complaining. To get online, you'll need to be in Terminal 2 or 3 or in Concourse C. (No luck for you suckers in Concourses A and B.)
Elsewhere, Jaunted user dmlaenker let us know that Richmond International has free WiFi; just sniff out the network named "RIC." As always, we've added these to our Airport WiFi Map.

We'd hate for you to forget about our Airport WiFi Guide, our up-to-date map of spots with free Internet access.
Reader Bruce wrote in to tell us about the situation at Charlotte-Douglas International, which sounds pretty cushy:
Charlotte-Douglas offers *free* wi-fi in all concourses, lounges and restaurants, even on the land side. There are comfy rocking chairs and accessible power outlets everywhere, too. And yes, this is full access, not just a jump to the paid service vendors.
We also hear that San Diego, Virgin America's latest destination, has free internet access. Further north, Sacramento International has a free signal throughout its facilities.

It's been awhile since we've updated our Airport WiFi Guide, but that hasn't kept you diligent tipsters from filling us in on spots with free Internet access. With all the in-flight WiFi news lately, we thought now would be as good a time as any to heap praise on more airports that let passengers jump online for free.
Tucson International lets flyers go wireless in airport restaurants and is planning to expand the service airport-wide soon. Burlington International in Vermont has free access throughout its facilities. And Manchester-Boston Regional has the same.
Keep sending in those tips, and we'll keep updating our map, free WiFi lovers!

Denver International is changing its ways. No longer will you have to park yourself outside the Presidents Club because the airport has just opened up its wireless network to everyone, in all terminals.
Not surprisingly, network traffic has increased ten-fold since access went from $8 a day to free, an airport spokesman says. You'll have to click through a couple ads to use the web, but there's no need to fork over any personal data.
We're always happy to see a big airport join the ranks of free Internet providers. While the cash that pay-for-play systems bring is nice, airports are realizing that giving travelers what they want is worth more than a little ancillary revenue.

When we put together our airport WiFi map, we focused on US airports not because we're jingoistic but because it's what we know best. Fortunately, our far-flung readers give their passports plenty of use--and fill us in on what they find out there.
Tipster Mark writes from Nicaragua with info on two Central American airports. Augusto C. Sandino International in Managua, Nicaragua is now set up for wireless access, so you can check the surf report before heading to San Juan del Sur.
Another big airport in the region also has free WiFi: Comalapa International outside of San Salvador. It's a hub for TACA, so you might end up here while waiting for a connecting flight. Surfing the web will keep you from eating that extra pupusa.

Our list of airports with free WiFi just keeps growing, thanks to our army of 'net savvy travel tipsters. Today we can update our airport WiFi map with two more airports.
Birmingham International Airport in Alabama has a free signal throughout its terminal building, and if you need a hard-wired connection, the business center between Concourses B and C has you covered.
Pensacola Regional Airport also offers free internet, on a system installed by a local computer science grad student. (Designed by a computer nerd? You know that's gonna be a reliable network.) Arcata-Eureka Airport, a small airfield in California, also has free internet, says our tipster Patrick.

We put out the word for your airport WiFi tips, and you haven't disappointed. Our guide to airports that offer up free 'net access is growing almost every day.
Today's round of updates includes Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, a bigger airport than we're used to seeing on our map. We've also added some smaller airfields, including Albuquerque and Boise (pictured).
Also, we heard about the free WiFi at Delta's Crown Room club at JFK's Terminal 3. Park yourself near Gate 6, and you should be able to pick up the signal leaking out of the VIP lounge for free.
