I have to transit at Dubai International Airport and found that the Internet here was provided only 30 minutes for free. A question comes through my head. How can I survive for such a long transit???

Here is the normal procedure for connecting the Internet.

  1. Select "DXB Free Wifi" as your prefer network
  2. Open web browser and type in any web site, it will be redirected to portal.boingohotspot.net which will allow you to use free Internet free 30 minutes for the first time.

The reason behind this?

My first thought is the WIFI system must remember MAC Address of the machine. However, after changing MAC address, it still remember my machine. Then another option would be web browser sent cookie value to identify itself, and the WIFI system uses cookie value to identify which machine has already used free Internet. Thus, using Private mode>portal.boingohotspot.netwebsite.
