Once you’re ready to hit the road, you should figure out where you can get online along the route. Some travelers recommend the Web site WiFiFreeSpot.com, part of the JiWire network, which lists free hot spots in airports and hotels around the world.
Of the 471 Wi-Fi-enabled airports in the U.S., for example, the site says roughly one-fourth of them feature free Wi-Fi in all or part of the terminals. Many are at smaller fields like Lubbock International Airport in Texas; these airports often cater to private jets, whose wealthy owners increasingly rely on Wi-Fi on the road.

It also mentions Another Web site, HotelChatter.com a site that maintains a list of the hotel chains that provide the best free Wi-Fi service.
