At the gate with Kilobat
Airport Wi-Fi on a Mac, without the guesswork
Kilobat is a Mac menu-bar app that shows what each app sends and holds back what can wait. At the airport:
It spots the sign-in page Free
When the page doesn’t open by itself, the menu bar says This Wi-Fi wants you to sign in, with Open sign-in page. When a sign-in runs out, it says Logged out by the Wi-Fi’s sign-in page instead of blaming DNS.
It warns you before time runs out Pro
Kilobat learns how long sign-ins last on each network, and warns you about five minutes before the next logout. While you’re signed in, the menu shows the time left.
It holds back what can wait Pro
Airport Wi-Fi is shared by a terminal full of people. Switch to the Travel profile and only the apps you allowed connect. Mark the network Metered and Kilobat switches to Travel by itself.
It checks the line before a call Free
The stutter test pings the internet every 50 ms for 20 seconds and shows the spikes an average hides. Check before meetings warns you five minutes before a call if something would freeze it; with Pro, one button pauses the culprits.
brew install seifip/kilobat/kilobatPro is $29 once for two Macs, with a 7-day free trial and 14-day refunds. How the sign-in checks work: hotel and airport Wi-Fi login on a Mac.

On a Mac
When the sign-in page won’t open
Every airport here holds your connection until you accept its terms. When the page doesn’t appear, open http://captive.apple.com in Safari, and turn off a VPN or iCloud Private Relay until you’re signed in. The step-by-step fixes are in Wi-Fi login page not appearing on a Mac and hotel and airport Wi-Fi login on a Mac. Once you’re on board, see in-flight Wi-Fi by airline.
Questions
Is airport Wi-Fi free?
At every airport on this page, yes: each operator offers free Wi-Fi. 6 of the 26 publish a time limit: LAX, Manchester Airport, Schiphol, Suvarnabhumi, Sydney Airport and Zurich Airport.
Which airports make you watch an ad?
LAX, Miami Airport, O’Hare, Sea-Tac and Sydney Airport show an advert or sponsored message as part of signing in, by their own pages.
Which airports ask for a phone number or passport?
Delhi Airport, Istanbul Airport and Zurich Airport sign you in with a code sent by text message, or a code you get with a passport, ID or boarding pass.
Why doesn’t the airport Wi-Fi login page appear on my Mac?
A VPN, iCloud Private Relay or your own DNS can keep it from opening, and a network the Mac already knows may not show it again. Open http://captive.apple.com in Safari. The full fix is in Wi-Fi login page not appearing on a Mac.
Can I pay for faster airport Wi-Fi?
Some airports publish paid tiers: Gatwick, LAX, Manchester Airport, Miami Airport and Zurich Airport. Each airport’s page lists the prices it publishes.
Get your Mac ready for the gate.
