It’s true! There’s free Wifi at the Airport.

YVR is the first major airport in Canada to offer free wireless access throughout its terminals. Over the last few months, more than 70 WiFi antennas, (access points) have been installed throughout the International, Domestic and South Terminals. Need to check flight schedules or make reservations, you can browse from a laptop or a WIFI-enabled phone with a couple clicks.

Launched on November 1, the free WiFi service is already being used by almost 3000 people a day. YVR has long been an airport leader in providing WiFi; when Nokia first introduced wireless Internet access in 2000, YVR was the first airport in North America to offer the service.

If you see students hanging out at the airport at all hours – now you’ll know why.
