Free Smithsonian Museum: Washington Dulles
Free Smithsonian Museum: Washington Dulles
Okay. I'm cheating a little bit: the Udvar-Hazy museum (www.nasm.si.edu/udvarhazy)
adjacent to Washington Dulles airport requires a 50-cent, 15-minute bus
ride to get there. But holey moley. This blows other little "airport
museums" out of the water -- it's a set of giant hangars stuffed with
things like an SR-71 Blackbird, the space shuttle Enterprise and the Enola Gay.
Yeah, the plane that dropped the Bomb? They've got that. They also have
free tours and an observation tower where you can watch planes landing
at Dulles.

Free City Tours: Taipei Taoyuan
Free City Tours: Taipei Taoyuan
If you're stuck in the airport for at least a few hours, the Taiwan
Tourism Bureau offers free morning and afternoon tours of Taipei from
Taoyuan International Airport (admin.taiwan.net.tw).
The morning tour hits an ancient temple and a center for
pottery-making; the afternoon tour takes you to another temple, Taiwan's
tallest skyscraper and the home of Taiwan's president. Taipei isn't the
only airport offering free city tours -- Singapore's airport also
offers free city breaks.

Free Airport Tours: San Diego
Free Airport Tours: San Diego
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at a major airport? On
the second and fourth Thursday and Friday of each month, if you're there
at the right time, you can take a guided tour (www.san.org)
of San Diego's airport and airfield, including areas out on the tarmac
that you don't usually get to access from the jetway. Other airports
offer tours, but I haven't been able to find any others that are free.

Free Skype Calls
Free Skype Calls: Tallinn, Estonia
Skype was originally written by Estonian programmers, so it's no
surprise that the country is relentlessly proud of its best-known major
export. In April 2011, the first free Skype video chat booth (www.tallinn-airport.ee)
popped up at Tallinn's airport, and you can use it to make unlimited,
free video calls anywhere in the world. If there's too much of a line,
you can try sending an email from the 14 free Internet kiosks in the
airport, or hooking up your own laptop over the airport's free Wi-Fi.
