Airport WiFi at LED
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
International eSIMs and roaming plans generally do not get a data signal in Russia — regulations require SIMs to be registered to a local carrier account, so most foreign eSIM providers simply don't cover the country. Plan on airport/hotel Wi-Fi or buying a Russian SIM with your passport instead.
Free Wi-Fi typically requires SMS verification to a phone number, which foreign numbers may not receive — if the portal won't accept your number, don't burn time on it; wait for a hotel connection or a Russian SIM instead.
