5 Ways Boingo Keeps You Connected Over Labor Day Holiday Travel

Most travelers now say their smartphone is the single most indispensable item they carry, ahead of even their toothbrush, deodorant, and driver’s license. And if you’re like most people, the first thing you do when you get to the airport is look for free Wi-Fi.

That’s a lot of users connected to one Wi-Fi network, which can compromise the experience. And if it’s a busy holiday weekend, there’ll be even more travelers trying to get online—which is why if you’re planning on connecting to Wi-Fi this Labor Day (or any other time of the year), you should beat the crowds and turn to Boingo Wireless.

With more than a million Wi-Fi hotspots around the world, Boingo is the leading provider of airport Wi-Fi and a seven-time winner of “Best Wi-Fi Service” as voted by the readers of Global Traveler magazine; Boingo also has Wi-Fi hotspots at malls, coffee shops, stadiums, and other popular locations. Offering speeds up to 50 Mbps, Boingo is the perfect way to get fast, free Wi-Fi on your travels.

How to Stay Connected to Wi-Fi on Your Next Trip
