Cincinnati AirportCincinnati Airport Now Has FREE WiFi Service!

We recently posted about the three main commercial airports serving Warren County residents:  Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus.  It's fantastic that we have so many choices for flights within about an hour's drive.

One of the longstanding complaints about the Cincinnati airport is the high airfares.  Face it, Delta pretty much runs the show at CVG with minimal competition.  They set the supply and adjust prices to the most that demand will support.  That's all well and fine,  it's free enterprise at work.  As consumers we always have the choice of driving, or driving to the other area airports if the price savings outweighs the inconvenience.

But as a past frequent traveler, one of the things that irked me slightly about CVG when compared to other airports was the lack of free WiFi service in the airport.  If you had a Delta Crown Room membership you were set, or belonged to T-mobile you were okay too.  But otherwise?  Open your wallet and shell out about $10 for each log in session.  The net results of that is I added PDAnet software to my laptop so I could tether my Blackberry to my laptop and not be dependent on airports anywhere to provide service.

But yesterday CVG announced that FREE WiFI service is now (FINALLY!!!) available at CVG!  They're offering two tiers of service, the 768 kb/sec level will be free.  If you want the 5 MB/sec like we get in our home, well that level they're still going to charge you for....although they're offering the premium service for free through June.  Taste the candy travelers!

And by the way, as part of the upgrades to CVG, they're boosting cell phone service to eliminate those black out spots down in the train tunnels.  And the last service over at Terminal 2 will finally be consolidated into Terminal 3 once the renovations on Concourse A are complete later this year! 

And as for the fares dropping at CVG....just keep shopping around for the best deals!

Will you ask them if they'll fly my car home for me?  I'm getting a little annoyed!  Kudos to the Cincinnati Airport and the Police...........that's my personal thing.

The guy from the impound lot said "it looks okay"................not a whole lot of info.  Waiting to hear from the adjuster.  I called her this morning and got her voice mail telling me she'd return the call within 24 hours.  How fun!  I have a doctors appointment on Friday that I need to keep, so today or tomorrow would work out well for me to come and pick it up if it's drive able.  It's costing me money every day they have it since I have a $500 deductible on my policy.  Grrrrrrrrrr!

Roger, Hopefully it was just a joyride and no damage done, and the adjuster gets back to you quickly.

Craig, Me too!  I have occasionally had to pay that $10 for an hours worth.  I have the same objection to paying extra for WiFi at hotels.  Should just be built into the room rate and not some massive profit center.

I love free wifi... Every time I'm in a place I check to see if they offer it. Most places around the Q now do.  I had to pay $40 extra for the time we were out of town during Christmas.  Grrrrrrr....

Rog... I didn't know you found your car!  Good for you and it sounds like it's going to be okay!  Even better!

John, One more reason I loaded PDAnet.  About $15 one time charge and I can use my unlimited data plan off my phone to tether and run my laptop.  Verizon might not like it, but they get plenty of money from us, and paying VZ $15 per MONTH for the same service just doesn't make good financial sense.

Good Morning, Bliz. Until those prices start to drop at CVG, having that FREE Premium Wi Fi is a good deal for the consumers in that area. Dind't know that Roger had a problem with his car. Hope he gets his car return soon.

Jerry, Unfortunately someone with sticky fingers decided to "borrow" Roger's car for a bit during a visit a couple of weeks ago.

BLiz: This is probably a welcomed relief for business travelers.  Having access to free WiFi is always a blessing when traveling.

Free Wifi is great.  You always see people huddled around the areas where they can get access.  Reminds me of people on crack needing to get their fix so badly.  LOL!

Bliz, now aren't you guys the lucky ones!  Wouldn't it be great if ALL airports offered free wi-fi?!?

Now about those air fares...

Juli, It's definitely going to be a popular change :)

Pamela, Those airfares are often steep at CVG.  We're regularly top 5 in nation for most expensive fares.
