Free Library








The Schiphol Airport Library in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Free Library: Amsterdam Schiphol

The Amsterdam airport is big for layovers, and the Dutch are big on reading. Let's combine the two! Schiphol Airport Library (www.airportlibrary.nl) is a showcase for Dutch culture, with Dutch literature in translation, Dutch music and even its own Twitter feed (@airprtlibrarian). Nine of the 25 seats have iPads, as well. The library is part of "Holland Boulevard," the cultural area of the airport which also has a (non-free) branch of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum.

Free iPads: JFK


Free iPads at the Delta Terminal at JFK International Airport in New York.

Free iPads: JFK Airport Terminals 2-3

JFK Terminal 3 is the worst airport terminal in America; it's literally crumbling, so Delta has declared it unsalveageable and plans to demolish it. Until then: iPads! Delta has installed 200 iPads at restaurants near the gate areas. Sure, you can use them to order food, but you can also surf the Web, check your email, stream videos or find other ways to anesthetize yourself against the misery of your surroundings. (Delta has done the same at LaGuardia, another one of the nation's worst airports.)

Free Movies & Video Games


One of the free internet terminals at the Singapore Changi Airport.

Free Movies & Video Games: Singapore Changi

Singapore's Changi airport is the ultimate paradise of free stuff. Terminal 3's free movie theater (www.changiairport.com/at-changi/entertainment-lifestyle/movie-theatre) screens big-name Hollywood flicks like X-Men: First Class, 24 hours a day. Terminal 2 offers free XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3 gaming systems. If you want to stream your own movies, there's free Wi-Fi throughout the airport, as well as 500 free Internet kiosks. That's only the tip of Singapore's jumbo jet of airport entertainment, but it'll probably keep you occupied for at least one layover.

Free Upgrades


The Schiphol Airport Library in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

By Sascha Segan

Airports aren't known for being full of free goodies. They leverage their captive audiences to get travelers to pay for every minute you're sitting around, whether it's in $2.49 bags of chips or $9.99 Wi-Fi. But some airports stand out: rather than bilking and milking, they understand that travelers will want to return to a city if their first or last impression is a positive one. And what's more positive than getting something for nothing?

I was surprised to find that Asian airports don't hold all the spots on this top-10 list. While U.S. airports aren't known for being cozy, friendly places to hang out, some of them try to make things better with the occasional free gadget. If you're bringing your own gadgets, check the directory at Wi-Fi Free Spot to see if your airport offers free Wi-Fi (www.wififreespot.com/airport.html).

On to the free stuff!
