In-flight Wi-Fi is a frustrating aspect of air travel for those who want to stream their favorite programs, tweet a photo from 35,000 feet or stay in touch with family and friends back home. With widespread complaints that it is expensive and slow, analysis of current pricing plans has found that just a handful of airlines offer free Wi-Fi, and most are cashing in with plans that cost as much as £30 ($45) for a six-hour flight. Budget airlines Norwegian and JetBlue are two of the few who offer free Wi-Fi for every passenger on board, although Norwegian's free service is limited to flights within Europe and between the US and Caribbean. According to analysts, in-flight Wi-Fi is costly because airlines see it more as a revenue generator than a perk for passengers. Farrar, who is based in California's Silicon Valley, said: 'Most passengers aren't willing to pay anything for it. 'Any provider that's trying to make a profit is going to figure out rapidly that they're better off charging a lot and getting the business travelers to use it. They can expense it.'
Waiting around the airport for a connecting or delayed flight is sometimes painful, but not having free Wi-Fi can make it a horrific experience. With that in mind, a computer security engineer and avid traveler has created an interactive map with the information flyers need to access airport Wi-Fi.
Anil Polat has released an 'always-up-to-date' list of wireless passwords for airports all over the world, which is also in app form for an even more accessibility. 'Finding an open wireless connection in many airports isn't always easy, or possible, without a password,' Polat shares in his blog foXnoMad. Polat reached out to his readers and asked for passwords they may have from airports across the world, which he then compiled into a simple list to share with the masses. The map is a more cutting-edge design of airport wireless networks, as it lets readers easily search through it , add to it and stay up to day with new information. 'I'll update the map to help your fellow travelers stay connected when they're hopping from airport to airport.' Polat suggests getting a USB wireless antenna to extend your wireless range. This lets you sit further from the source, 'which might mean the difference between a cold floor or a cushy cafe seat,' Polat shares. Check the interactive map below for the airport you'll be visiting.
