Airport Wifi

I writing this post not from my home in Oregon, but from Boise, Idaho. Some colleagues and I are in Boise visiting our campus here for work. When we setup this trip last week I got to thinking about airport wifi, and how I was very glad that the airports in both Portland and Boise offer free wifi.

My first thought was that I could put together a list of airports around the country, and their wifi offerings. I had even decided that I was going to get some group participation going on, with readers sending me information about their local airports. As I mentioned this to my wife she gently — as to not crush my brilliant idea — told me that someone has probably already done that.

Sure enough. The helpful people over at TravelPost.com have compiled “the definitive guide to US airport wireless connections and free airport wifi.” They’ve even compiled lists for international airports and airport clubs/lounges.

While that would have been fun to put something together like this, they did a bang-up job that’s not worth duplicating. Happy traveling.

  1. Portland, Eugene … Redmond even. Not Sportsman Airpark? Aw, shucks.

    Thanks for the linky.

  2. Sorry Alan, no Sportsman Airpark. They don’t even rate a NOAA weather station, which is mystifying to me ;-)

  3. Another site that has a pretty good list of airports around the country and their wifi offerings is AirportWiFiGuide.com
    The people at AirportWiFiGuide.com have put together in addition to airport WiFi details, several ratings for other factors like connection speed/strength and the wait area comfort.

    They even include link to airport terminal map and contact number plus use comments.

    My thought was that it’s “a pretty nice site to get your airport wifi information.” ;-)
