## Questions

### Is there free Wi-Fi at Turkish airports?

Yes, in Istanbul (IST, SAW) and Antalya. Log in with an SMS code or your passport at a kiosk; in Antalya for 1 hour.

### Will the Wi-Fi SMS code reach a Ukrainian number in roaming?

It depends on the airport. In Sharm El Sheikh a traveller wrote that codes aren't sent to foreign numbers; in Cairo a number in the 00 + country code format usually works. To not depend on a code, turn on an eSIM at home.

### How long is the free Wi-Fi at Bangkok and Phuket airports?

60 minutes, log in with an e-mail (AOT, official).

### Do I need a phone number for Wi-Fi at Dubai airport?

No, the DXB Free WiFi network is open, with no time limit.

### Is there Wi-Fi at Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh airports?

Hurghada: yes, with registration. Sharm: yes, but by reviews short and with a code to an Egyptian number. Egypt's airports have no official Wi-Fi pages.

### Which is easier: airport Wi-Fi or an eSIM?

Wi-Fi is free but only in the terminal and often with a code. An eSIM works from landing, in the transfer and the hotel. For a 2-hour layover Wi-Fi is enough.

### How do I avoid roaming charges while connecting to Wi-Fi?

Turn off mobile data on your main SIM before landing (Tbilisi airport advises the same).
