Traveling blogger echoes Nashville airport survey results

The Nashville International Airport ranked sixth in a recent customer satisfaction survey. I travel fairly frequently and am well acquainted with the airport. I’m generally pleased with my experiences there, especially now that the dining and shopping amenities have been considerably improved.

Blogger Andy Abramson, hanging out this morning while waiting for a flight back to San Diego, is digging the airport’s WiFi connection:

My logon using either my Asus eee PC 900 or the Mac Book Air was flawless and fast. I was able to use all my apps without any issues, including IMAP, something the hotel wireless at the Cool Springs Marriott seemed to not permit last night.

Oh, and my speeds? 3 Megs in each direction, and while not the blazing speeds I’m now seeing in San Diego, more than enough for fast file transfers, downloads and email.

I just wish WiFi at the airport were free, as it is in the Jacksonville airport.

    Rob,

    Thanks for calling out attention to my post.

    Maybe I’m in the minority, but, I’m one of those frequent travelers who feels that you get what you pay for. My experience in the Pay For Play airports powered by Boingo, AT&T or T-Mobile has consistently been far better than the free airports.

    What’s more is I don’t run into port blocking issues as someone who uses both IMAP and an Exchange Server for email, nor am I subjected to censorship the way people who fly through Denver are.

    Cheers,

    Andy

    You’re welcome, Andy. You’re probably right about getting what you pay for, but my inner tightwad resists the pay for pay realm. That sounds a little disturbing about Denver. I’ve flown through there, but I didn’t have a laptop with me at the time.
