Net free Wi-Fi from Boingo in August

Midway AirportPlanning on doing some traveling in August? If you’re doing a fair amount of flying in and out of airports, and you happen to be carrying your iPhone around with you, you may be able to reap the benefits of some free Wi-Fi. Wireless provider Boingo, who run a network of hotspots around the country, are providing free wireless access in thirteen airports nationwide to iPhone users for the month of August. If you happen to find yourself in one of the participating airports, just look for the wireless network named “concourse.” Hop on, enter your email, and you’ll be all set.

The airports include:

  • AZO – Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport
  • BNA – Nashville International Airport,
  • BWI – Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport,
  • DTW – Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport,
  • EWR – Newark Liberty International Airport,
  • JFK – John F. Kennedy International Airport,
  • LGA – LaGuardia Airport,
  • MDW – Midway International Airport,
  • MSP – Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport,
  • OKC – Will Rogers World Airport,
  • ORD – O’Hare International Airport,
  • STL – Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, and
  • YYZ – Toronto Pearson International Airport.

    Normally, Boingo’s plans start for around $22 a month for unlimited access in the United States, or $39 for global access; daily plans are also available. I myself will be flying in and out of Midway next week, so maybe I’ll get a chance to give it a try.

    Boingo's Smartphone and PDA plan is priced at $7.99 a month for unlimited access. Wouldn't that be the relevant plan for the iPhone?

    Well, they haven't opened up Midway yet. I'm sitting in Midway right now and had to pay to get online...

    Maybe on my return trip they'll have it opened up.
