Miami International (MIA) is offering travelers free Wi-Fi access to select travel-related websites.
The Miami-Dade Aviation Department is providing free access to sites for airlines, hotels, rental car companies, the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, Miami-Dade County and the airport. The service will allow passengers to make any needed adjustments to their travel arrangements or get information about local tourist attractions.
For access to other Internet use, the airport charges $9.95 for 24 continuous hours, or $4.95 for the first 30 minutes and the $0.25 per minute thereafter. Travelers who subscribe to roaming partners such as Boingo, iPass and T-Mobile and their respective partners can go online at no additional fee.
“While it remains cost-prohibitive for airports with MIA’s size and passenger volume to provide unrestricted Wi-Fi service, offering travelers complimentary access to select websites that can improve their travel experience is an additional customer service enhancement for our 38 million guests who travel through MIA each year,” says MDAD Deputy Director Miguel Southwell.
”Over several months, the Citizen’s Transportation Advisory Committee Aviation Sub-committee members worked diligently with the MDAD team and their consultant to craft, create and develop this enhanced Wi-Fi service for air travelers using MIA,” says Dr. Claudius A. Carnegie, chair of the CTAC Aviation Sub-committee. “We are indeed very pleased with and proud of the final product that is now being launched.”
