To everyone who says that this is dodgy or immoral:
It is not. The majority of the world doesn't function anymore without WiFi, which makes it more of a human necessity than a convenience to pay for. Not offering free WiFi is like not offering passengers free toilets at an airport. Unless you want everyone to piss in a corner you must offer a toilet, especially when you also require passengers to arrive at least two hours prior departure.
In India I wasn't allowed to enter airports without showing them my boarding ticket at the entrance. However I didn't have a boarding ticket because I needed to go to the counter inside, which I wasn't allowed (standard in India). So they demand from tourists to log in their email and show the booking confirmation but don't give you free WiFi. Fuck this shit!
Going to the taxi stand and they ask me for my reservation number. Same story again, no WiFi no luck.
In some countries there is no taxis or taxis are widely considered extremely dangerous (Johannesburg, etc.) and you MUST use Uber. How are you going to do it without WiFi?
Long story short, don't fucking build your entire infrastructure reliant on the internet and then don't give your customers an opportunity to connect to the internet.
WiFi is a necessity, it should be free of charge everywhere.
