I have found a list of wifi available at Gatwick south terminal but I see no
pricing options.

Does anyone know if there are any free wifi spots in Gatwick south please?

*MOST* unlikely! Airports give a choice of "The Cloud", T-Mobile, BTOpenZone
etc. and why would anyone use these if a free HotSpot was available?

I don't believe there is, not even in the business lounges. I flew back
from a business trip to Miami a while back, and the business lounge
there had completely free high speed access. Another example of rip off
Britain?

I don't know what they have by way of pricing which is why I was asking.

As usual, those that have more money get things for free?

Business class usually costs a hell of a lot more than your usual
standard / economy class. Free wifi would be expected the business
lounge at any major airport.

Well with the price difference I doubt it is free anyway, just bundled into
the cost.

I might be mistaken but I think Boston Logan has free WiFi throughout
the airport, or at least in the British Airways terminal where I was.

So the reason you had to pay for it in the Gatwick lounges being?
