Airport WiFi at FAO
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
EU/UK roaming plans generally cover Portugal at no extra cost; travelers from further afield are better off arriving with an EU-wide or Portugal-specific eSIM already installed rather than relying solely on the terminal's Wi-Fi.
The free network is unlimited once you accept the terms on the landing page — useful for confirming a transfer pickup or checking in for a connecting flight without burning mobile data.
