Searching for (or stealing) someone else's spotty Internet signal is never fun. Trust me, I've tried it — and let's just say Savvy wasn't smiling when it cut out . . . midblog post. Still airport (and in-flight rates) won't always add up to a deal for an hour layover, or an hour flight.
Luckily, Google announced a free holiday WiFi program in 47 participating airports and on all Virgin America flights until Jan. 15! If you're not flying that airline, through those locations or another airport with already free WiFi, Bing will offer free Internet access at a range of airport and hotel hotspots if you simply perform just one search with their engine. Hey, you can use it to search for your next great deal!

My husband had this great idea for those airports that charge $3 an hour for use of their outlets to charge electronics...buy a power strip and pay the $3, then charge people $1 to use your power strip. That way, you profit $3 an hour on the deal and people are willing to pay the $1 because it's cheaper than the airport.
