Maybe because you have access on your phone but you don't want to use it much? You could get an email but you wouldn't want heavier usage. Not artificial, that is often my situation: roaming, so I can afford email but I can't afford maps, for example.Originally posted by ASB View PostGood iinit.

It favours frequent flyers obviously. I've found 3G/4G to be pretty useless in crowded areas such as airports so I appreciate the 30-90 minutes they usually give away at airports.Comment

With other free wifi, they first allow you email access to receive the email, and then when you activate the account, you get full access. I do have a mifi widget with a UK sim card, but that's not the point - it's just badly thought-out design.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Failed to even complete registration when I was there on Wednesday afternoon.....filled out form, hit 'Continue' or whatever, then......nothing!
Went back to my mobile data connection, sharing with the zillion other bods. Don't like Gatwick.......and have to go back on Tuesday
