Tips ## When DFW Wi-Fi won’t play along ### From DFW - Some charging stations in the terminals have a computer with internet access, for travellers without a laptop. ### On a Mac - **No sign-in page?** Open `http://captive.apple.com` in Safari. A plain http page can be redirected to the airport’s sign-in page; an https one can’t. - **Pause what hides it.** A VPN, iCloud Private Relay or your own DNS can keep the page from opening. Turn them off, sign in, then turn them back on. - **Forget and rejoin.** A network the Mac already knows may not show the sign-in window again. Forget it in System Settings › Wi-Fi and join once more. - **Look behind your windows.** macOS opens the sign-in page in a small window of its own, which can open behind the others.

Airlines ## Airlines based at DFW Boarding soon? Here’s what the Wi-Fi is like once you’re on the plane. [**American Airlines***American Airlines in-flight Wi-Fi →*](https://kilobat.app/in-flight-wifi/american-airlines) 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 DFW: - ### 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.
