Hong Kong's Airport Hates Layovers Too, So They Installed Free Playstation 3
Bored at the airport and jealous that Upper Class flyers on Virgin Atlantic have Guitar Hero and Wii Sports to play with in their Gatwick Clubhouse? Well, if you're suffering from a layover at Hong Kong's massive and very modern Chek Lap Kok Airport, then perhaps you'll be interested in a few games on a Playstation 3?
Hong Kong's airport authority has called up Sony to partner on a deal to bring Playstation 3 into HKG, and they've installed 14 PlayStation3 Game Poles near the boarding gates at Terminal 1 and the Coach Station at Terminal 2. Here we'd ask how much does it cost, but we don't even need to—because it's free!.
And of course, Sony wants to get the travelers hooked, so you'll be able to play some of the newest titles including Final Fantasy XIII (which isn't even released in the US yet!), James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Assassin’s Creed 2. We'd recommend Assassin's Creed 2, because the setting is medieval Italy and boy is it a game that's perfect to be sucked into for a few mindless hours in the airport.

Snag Some All-You-Can-Eat Ramen on Cathay Pacific
It was only two weeks ago that we took our own advice and booked the Hong Kong direct from New York-JFK on Cathay Pacific for a grand total of $795. It isn't our first time and it definitely won't be our last, but this flight begins a whole new chapter for us in terms of which airlines we'll choose in the future, because you see, Cathay Pacific gave us all the free Ramen noodles we could eat.

Airport WiFi: More Airports, Worldwide
We still haven't managed to catch up with all the airport WiFi emails we've gotten over the past few weeks, but we're trying! Keep the tips coming, and we'll keep updating our mashup.
This week, we've got a few smaller airports but we've also added Hong Kong International, which has free access throughout. And if you're passing through Vietnam, you'll be able to send an email from SGN before hopping an AirAsia flight.
If we managed to miss your favorite airport hotspot, do fill us in. The more specific you can be the better: Where did you log on, and what's the power outlet scene?
