Heathrow to provide free Wi-Fi to passengers
Skift Take
For such a high profile airport -- known for years for its expensive paid internet/wifi options -- to move to 45 minutes free wifi per user per day is a smart move. This will go down fabulously well with passengers at Heathrow, which can use all the good PR it gets these days.
Heathrow airport is to offer all passengers free wifi from Saturday. The London hub will offer online access without charge for 45 minutes per calendar day across all five terminals. Heathrow Rewards cardholders will receive 90 minutes of free browsing.
