im not very good with the search bar but, somone has to know this question...especially if you fly alot, and own a laptop.

so im flying from malbany new york to lax in california, and i have a layover in chichgo and i was wondering if internet was free in the airports, or if it cost ? im going to be very bored on the layover so if anyone can answer this, please do

if its not free how much does it usally cost, and how do you pay for it
 
it is almost always free. although once i had a layover in tennessee, i forget the airport but it cost money. first time i'd ever seen it cost money. but it shouldn't be much if it is and credit card i think...
 
It's almost always free. Sometimes you get fucked over if the airport let's some company manage it's wireless. T-mobile hotspots and all that bullshit you have to pay a subscription for. I've seen less and less of those recently though.
 
yeah fuck t-mobile, my brother was telling me about all that shit (hes 21) not that it matters but he flys international alllll the time and he says it usally costs , maybe hes just not wanting me to look forward to internet on a layover, idk . but how muhc are the subscribtions
 
sick^^ im not sure how long it will be but i wonder if im waiting in the plane through the gate if ill pick up the internet..

kinda off topic question but do they sell laptop chargers that run on batteries so i can charge my laptop on the plane to watch movies and what not
 
Try reading a book. It's not like it's that much different than reading shit online, except it's a little old school, and it might stay on one topic for more than a few paragraphs.

i'd recomend Vonnegut or Palahniuk for starters, and i'd also include Douglas Adams, make sure you pick something up before you get to the airport, otherwise i wouldn't really bother.

 
I fly to and from home and school a lot and i've found that it's regularly not free. Boston(Logan), Raleigh NC, and cleveland OH are all pay for use. The only airport i've found that is free is Akron/Canton. A lot of smaller ones are...bigger ones aren't.
 
my dad flys through chicago midway alot and he has to pay for it. i dont think its very expensive though.. and it lasts for a day
 
Are you at midway or ohare i was at ohare a week ago and wireless costs money not to sure about midway but i am 1000 percent ohare you have to pay...
 
alrgiht, so are their such thing as laptop chargers that run on batteries so i can charge my computer on the plane e
 
no they make little adapters you can plug into the plane, but i think only a few planes have the plug in them.

but dallas, cincinnati, atlanta, and a bunch of like midwest airports are free internet so chicago prob does also
 
I fly at least once a month from Wausau, WI to Louisville, KY, changing planes in Chi town .. My laptop has always worked just fine there. Don't forget you have to carry it on, and take it out at all security checkpoints (pain in the ass..)

If you skateboard, you should take your board cause I always just skate around on those flat escalators-its pretty fun..
 
ya this is mad fun, last tiem i was in chicage o hare i had a 5 hour lay over that turned into a 9 hour layover so we skated all over the airport and made trains with thoses cart things
 
ive had that happen, they don't really care. most ppl just liked watching

but we had this one bussiness dude who was pmsing about it
 
not in Chicago, I've never had a problem.. Other airports I've been yelled at, taken to interrogation rooms and shit.. but yeah if you stop when they ask you to they usually arent gay about it.. some people freak though, I had an old lady whack me with her purse mid stair ollie..
 
when I flew from Newark in the summer it wasn't free.. Tmobile hotspot and all that stuff. I've flown out of Newark since, but I didn't check the internet. When I was at London Heathrow it was free. Maybe try calling up the airport?
 
yeah. I have one of those. Dell makes a travellers charger and it has a conventional outlet plug in, a car charger and the airplane charger in one. I have yet to see an outlet on a plane, but Im sure they are prob in the newer planes that do long international flights and such. But, I doubt there are chargers that run on batteries. It would take so many batteries, it would be so expensive. Just buy another battery, or just use your computer till the battery is gone and then charge it on the layover. You cant really use the laptop for that long if your going from albany to chicago(cant really remember what you said, but I think thats right) cause you cant use electronics for takeoff and landing, and thats about 15 minutes each.
 
Some airports have free wireless, others don't. Vancouver's does, Detroit's does, and that's all I know about. Some require one-time credit card payments of minute amounts, others require subscriptions (T-Mobile??).

 
if you go into starbucks in an airport would they have their own wifi? it would be free.

never tried it but idk they might? it's worth a try.
 
i was at dulles last fri for like 4 hours on a delayed flight and they had tmobile hotspot it sucked.

and security didnt care cause we were hitting people just cruising aroud, not even ollieing or anything.
 
in Atlanta it was 6 dollars for one day and it was done by credit card.

where im from in Latrobe PA the airport has it for free and in pittsburgh too.
 
A few airports I've been to had little booths where you could put in a debit card and they would give you a password. It was 3$ / hour at one airport and the other was 6$ for the day.
 
Bro, it doesnt take too long to check your itinerary. Or to go to an airline website to check how long it takes for yourself.

A lot of different airports I've been to wireless has been free and a lot I've been to you have had to pay for it. Honestly, I think it varies depending on how cheap your airline is.
 
O'Hare is free, Midway is not. So depends what chicago it is. Midway is T Mobile i believe.
I find that most of the free ones are on the west coast.
 
if you have a computer w/ wireless access, then it is free, but the airport computers cost like 5 bucks an hour. what airline are u flying on?
 
You can connect illegaly,if there is some company like verzion wireless,i remember that I connected like that last summer in frankfurt,I waited for fuckin 7 hours
 
so, yeah im flying united and flying into o'hare.

give me ideas of what to do on the first 2 hours, im thikning sleeping, even tho on planes its hard for me.

then when we transfer what should i do for the last 4 hours ?

i have a book. but what else
