Wi‑Fi

SSID: #DCA Free WiFi. Connect, enter email and ZIP (international visitors can bypass ZIP), and accept terms to join. Coverage extends through the main terminal and concourses. Performance supports streaming and browsing. Use a VPN and avoid sensitive transactions on public networks.

  • Charging: outlets and USB ports near most gates; bring a power bank as backups.
  • Privacy: prefer HTTPS websites and consider disabling auto‑connect.

Security tips: Use a reputable VPN when accessing personal accounts on public Wi‑Fi. Stick to HTTPS sites and avoid entering sensitive information such as banking details on shared networks. Consider disabling auto‑join after your trip.

Working on the go

Speeds generally handle video calls, but bring wired earbuds or a headset for quieter audio in busy gate areas. Outlets can be popular at peaks; a small power bank is a good backup on full flights.
