Airports aren't known for being full of free goodies. They leverage their captive audiences to get travelers to pay for every minute you're sitting around, whether it's in $2.49 bags of chips or $9.99 Wi-Fi. But some airports stand out: rather than bilking and milking, they understand that travelers will want to return to a city if their first or last impression is a positive one. And what's more positive than getting something for nothing?
I was surprised to find that Asian airports don't hold all the spots on this top-10 list. While U.S. airports aren't known for being cozy, friendly places to hang out, some of them try to make things better with the occasional free gadget. If you're bringing your own gadgets, check the directory at Wi-Fi Free Spot to see if your airport offers free Wi-Fi (www.wififreespot.com/airport.html).
On to the free stuff!
