Prior to a long trip, haven’t you wondered if you would have Wifi at the airport to tell your family you arrived well, or to entertain yourself during the long waits? Will there be charging stations to charge all your devices? Should you pack some snacks or will there be nice shops there?
We often wonder about these questions and sometimes we can’t find answers even at the websites of the airports. So we thought we can make a useful list with the information we think is most interesting from all the airports where we’ve been.
Have you noticed some mistake or some changes in any of the airports mentioned? let us know so we can update the list!
