WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Fa'a'ā International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for French Polynesia.
Airport WiFi at PPT
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
A 15-minute free wifi allowance has been offered in the international departure lounge, though this dates to a 2015 source and current terms may differ -- a local SIM or eSIM is a sensible backup.
Lounge wifi has been independently rated as having good download but poor upload speeds; general terminal wifi quality beyond the free allowance is unconfirmed.
