Watch out for fake networks
The official network is named exactly Airport_Free_Wifi. Treat look-alike names (for example a slightly different spelling, or one promising "premium" or "unlimited" access from an unknown provider asking for payment) with caution. On any public Wi-Fi, avoid logging into banking or entering card details unless the site is secured (https), and consider a VPN for anything sensitive.
Best for whom
- Short layovers: connect once and check your gate or message ahead — a single four-hour session covers most connections.
- Long transits and remote workers: renew sessions for free as needed; for video calls or large uploads at peak times, a mobile data plan or eSIM can be more reliable.
- Families: free for every device, so the whole party can connect separately.
