Munich Airport has launched a new service allowing passengers and airport visitors to surf the internet using the airport’s Wireless LAN (WLAN) for up to 30 minutes for free.
The service is available to users of notebook computers and WLAN-enabled handheld devices in the waiting areas of both terminals as well as the Munich Airport Center.
The new free service is based on the existing Deutsche Telekom HotSpot service at the airport. Users who want to go online with their own devices simply launch a browser; a start-up page will then open with a link to the registration page, where the user can enter the access code. This code is then sent as a text message to the user’s mobile telephone. As soon as the code is entered in the HotSpot portal, the user will have full internet access.
The free service can be accessed by a given user once a day and terminates after 30 minutes. When the free 30-minute period ends, a single click opens the regular HotSpot portal, where additional time can be purchased by credit card. The price for each additional hour of online time is €4.95.
