Free Wi-Fi and Free Fun at London City Airport

According to a short article in the Business Traveller blog, London City Airport in the city’s Royal Docks area, has joined the ranks of airports offering complimentary wireless Internet service. Hooray!

A good time to use that free amenity might be during the airport’s 13th annual Fun Day, coming up on July 4th. There will be a British Airways “village” offering visitors a chance to tour airplane cockpits, dress up in BA uniforms and ride in a mobile simulator, and a sports area where would-be gold-medal winners can try out some of the sports that will be played during the 2010 Olympic Games, which will be held nearby. Not gold-medal minded? Consider entering the non-Olympics sports (so far..) of egg and spoon, sack and three-legged racing.

Colin Salmon (who plays Charles Robinson in James Bond films) will be a celebrity guest and, oh yeah, there’s also be an air show, with all manner of breathtaking airplane stunts. For more information see the London City Airport Fun Day and Air Show Web site.
