We were very interested to read Rotten Wi-Fi’s blog about the best airports in the world for Wi-Fi. It’s long been one of the Geekabit team’s biggest gripes when travelling: being stuck in a terminal building waiting for a flight, or worse waiting hours for a connecting flight, and the wireless network is sooo slow you could have found whatever you were after in a giant encyclopaedia. The sheer dismay when you have to engage with fellow travellers in order to stave off going crackers from sheer boredom can also put a downer on any Geek’s holiday!

Anyway, back to the all-important survey – out of the 185 airports worldwide that were assessed, the Rotten Wi-Fi team ranked Don Mueang Airport in Thailand as the best. The American airport of Bill and Hilary Clinton (yes, that is the official name) in Little Rock, Arkansas came in second place. Four other Thai airports made the top 10, proof that Thailand seems willing and able to provide Wi-Fi to waiting travellers better than any other country. 3 European airports made the top 20 list – Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport in Estonia, and Munich and Frankfurt in Germany.

Gatwick and Heathrow are nowhere to be seen, with no British airports making the top 20 list, so perhaps it’s time to start asking for some better wireless services in our major hubs. People have come to expect a quality Wi-Fi service, particularly when they are spending money to be there, and profits from airports certainly seem large enough to get a Wi-Fi project under way. It’s nearly holiday season here at Geekabit HQ and we’ll report back on our airport Wi-Fi experiences, once we have all returned from overseas jaunts.
