WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Houari Boumediene Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for Algeria.
Airport WiFi at ALG
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
Coverage sources conflict — some report free voucher-based wifi in Terminals 1-3 and automatic connection in the newer Terminal 4, others report a paid-only system (roughly DA 250-420 per session); don't count on either. Pick up a Djezzy, Ooredoo, or Mobilis prepaid SIM (sold at arrivals kiosks) or activate a data eSIM before relying on the terminal network.
If wifi is offered, expect to collect a voucher from a newsagent or café counter in the older terminals rather than a simple open network — budget a few minutes for this rather than assuming instant access.
