Is there free wifi in Sydney Airport?
I'm flying into Sydney airport in about a week, and there's a chance that I'll find myself wanting to look online for a last minute hotel. However, because I will just have arrived, I won't have had a chance to go and get an Australian SIM card.
Is there wifi available in Sydney Airport? And if so, is it free or paid-for? I'm particularly interested in the arrivals side for this, but information on departures side would be good for the future too!
Best Answer
Wifi is free at Sydney International and domestic airport. Please refrain from providing any sensitive information for signup. Simply type in a name in a name field and abcd@abcd.com in email field. In this way you can avoid getting marketing emails. Choose meeter/greeter in purpose of visit field. In this way most of the time they won't ask for the same particulars again when you re-sign whenever you are disconnected.
On Android devices most of the time the sign up only once.. On iOS devices its required every time.

Answer 2
Based on Jonik's answer, I went and did some more googling. I eventually found a Free Wifi page on the airport website
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout International Terminal (T1) and Domestic Terminal (T2).
Sydney Airport now provides free Wi-Fi for all travellers at both the Domestic (T2) and International (T1) Terminals. You can use any Wi-Fi enabled device to connect including your laptop, smartphone or tablet.
Simply select “Free Internet by sponsors name & SYD” from the list of available networks, answer the questions, read the terms and conditions and click "Proceed". You will be shown a sponsored message then directed to a website.
From there you can browse the internet for up to 2 hours and 500MB of data. Coverage is provided throughout the entire International Terminal (T1) and Domestic Terminal (T2).
So, looks like I should be able to get enough free wifi to find a hotel if I need one, and there'll also be some for when waiting to fly out again!
