WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Ninoy Aquino International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for Philippines.
Airport WiFi at MNL
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
Globe and Smart have solid LTE across Metro Manila; a physical SIM or eSIM picked up or activated on arrival is far more reliable than NAIA's free wifi, which is inconsistent across terminals.
Wifi and general terminal comfort vary a lot by building — Terminal 3 is newer than the older Terminals 1 and 2, so if you're stuck on a long connection in an older terminal, a paid lounge is worth considering.
