BWI Marshall Airport Offers Free Wi-Fi Option For Travelers

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—BWI Marshall Airport announced Wednesday that free wireless Internet access is now available for travelers.  BWI Marshall Airport now offers a complimentary, basic Wi-Fi service along with a paid, premium service.

Travelers selecting the complimentary wireless option will watch a brief advertisement before a 45 minute wireless session.  Customers may use as many free sessions as they choose.  A fee-based Wi-Fi service is also available for travelers that prefer greater-bandwidth or an uninterrupted, commercial-free session.

"This new, free Wi-Fi service will provide an improved level of convenience for our travelers," said Paul J. Wiedefeld, BWI Marshall Airport Executive Director.  "BWI Marshall emphasizes customer service and efficiency for our passengers.  The improved wireless amenity will allow travelers to stay connected."

BWI Marshall worked with the airport's concessions developer Airmall to provide the free Wi-Fi option for travelers.

"We know travelers today leave the house with a host of wireless devices—from laptops and tablets to wireless phones," said Brett Kelly, Vice President of Airmall Maryland.  "People want to stay connected when they're on the road, and this complimentary wireless service makes that even more possible."

The new BWI Marshall Wi-Fi service is powered by Advanced Wireless Group.
