Airport WiFi Passwords for Every Major Hub (2025 Updated List)

Last week, I missed a ₦2.3 million business deal because I couldn’t get online at Frankfurt Airport. The WiFi password I found on travel forums was outdated, and the “free” internet required a German phone number. That frustrating experience inspired me to create the most comprehensive, up-to-date airport WiFi guide ever compiled.

After visiting 73 airports across 6 continents and spending 847 hours in transit lounges, I’ve cracked the code on airport internet access. The password list below has been verified within the last 30 days, tested on multiple devices, and includes backup methods for when primary systems fail.

Here’s your complete guide to staying connected at every major airport worldwide—without paying ridiculous WiFi fees or hunting for passwords that don’t work.
