If you're going to be flying over the Christmas week, you can connect with loved ones more easily thanks to Skype. The VOIP service is offering one free hour of wi-fi at over 50 US airports between December 21 and December 27. You can use Skype WiFi to make voice and video calls to computers for free and to landlines and mobile phones using Skype credit.
You can take advantage of the offer if you've got a PC, Mac or iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) and a Skype account, which is free. Make sure you have the latest version of Skype, then sign in using a wireless connection in a supported hotspot, and you're good to go.
The offer is available in more than 50 major airports, including JFK, LaGuardia and Newark in the New York City area, Boston's Logan Aiport, Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports, Jackson Hole, and Miami. For a full list, see the interactive map.
