Going to the airport is an inevitable commitment for many people. It’s full of dense, monotonous stretches that are almost unbearable, and the number one option is to connect to the first available WiFi to get lost in the digital jungle. Some airports offer open networks as a courtesy... and others charge an arm and a leg, or limit access to their VIP customers. If you’re about to travel and already know the process will take several hours of your time, you might want to check a special, updated map with airport WiFi passwords.
Airports can become senseless architectural nightmares (except for a few exceptions) that stress and disturb even the most coherent and focused passengers. Nor should we forget delays, strikes, weather whims, epidemics, and a long etcetera. In addition to waiting for hours (or days!), we also discover that WiFi is treated as if it were a luxury item.
Granted, many airports have already opened the door to free WiFi, but there are still VIP zones and charges that are completely anachronistic. So... how about a collaborative project focused on collecting the passwords of WiFi networks in airports?
Airport WiFi passwords around the world
That is exactly what Anil Polat offers us with his map “Wireless Passwords from Airports and Lounges Around the World”. Using Google Maps as a base, all we need is a conventional web browser, but those who prefer a dedicated app can get it from the Google and Apple stores under the name WiFox. Specific details for entering each WiFi network appear on the left side of the screen. For example, the free WiFi network at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport has a one-hour per session limit, while others update their passwords every 24 hours.
All interested users can participate and enter at any time the data of the WiFi networks they access. For logical reasons, the information is limited to airports (and special zones within them), a limitation that helps keep the map 'clean'. WiFi networks are too variable, but there is a factor of 'stability' in airport connections, without ignoring the fact that millions of potential users pass through them daily, and there is never a shortage of someone willing to contribute with an update. If you have to travel, don't hesitate to consult it and contribute.
