Wireless at the Chattanooga Airport: giving a good first impression
The Chattanooga Airport is getting free wireless via Airnet. The press release quotes Keith Campbell, Airnet’s Chief Operations Officer.
“With a visitor’s first impression to Chattanooga through our airport, what better way to assist the wonderful job that Mike Landguth and his folks at the airport are doing for us and show our travelers what Chattanooga has to offer.”
I agree that having free wifi in our airport will give our visitors and travelers a great first impression of Chattanooga. And it even gives people a great impression of our city when they leave and/ or are stuck in our airport. Free internet access is a small gift we can give people who fly here and visit
Thanksgiving of 2005 my family was flying back from Florida and got stuck in the Charlotte, NC airport. We were there for almost 8 hours and it was not very fun with a toddler and the unknown of exactly when we would get on a flight back to Chattanooga. But the free wifi in the airport allowed us to keep in touch with our friends, family, and upload some pictures from our camping trip to flickr.
It gave us something to do instead of watching the same news coverage on CNN over and over again. And I know that if I ever travel to Charlotte again, via airplane, that it will be a pleasurable experience.
I’m glad that the Chattanooga airport will be doing the same.

that’s cool, but I’m a little shocked it’s taken this long. I mean come on: *krystal* has had wi-fi for how many years?
