Glasgow Airport Wi-Fi rules people need to know before safety

Passengers at Glasgow Airport were also informed about NATS air traffic control services.

People traveling to Glasgow Airport can use Wi-Fi for free, but if you rely on it, especially for work before a business trip, it’s worth checking with security ahead of time that you can register to access it and that your device is compatible with the service.

Glasgow Airport confirms: “At Glasgow Airport you can access free wireless internet via your laptop or handheld device.” Free Wi-Fi at the airport is provided in partnership with Purple/North WiFi.

To connect, you will need a device that supports Wi-Fi 802.11b. Most portable devices already have this feature built-in, and many other devices can be upgraded to include a wireless network card.

You can use airport Wi-Fi for free for one hour, but the rules require you to register first. This free option has limited speeds, so if you need a faster connection, the upgraded service may be better.

A one-day premium pass costs £2 and provides speeds of up to 10MB. It also allows you to download and stream.

To connect to WIFI, simply follow these steps:

• Turn on your wireless device
• When prompted to select a Wi-Fi network, select ‘Glasgow_Airport_WiFi’.
• Select “Duration Required”
• Users visiting the site for the first time may be asked to register certain information. This will only happen once, after which your individual device will be recognized.
• You’ll now be connected to the free Wi-Fi at Glasgow Airport.
