3 terminals by gate 63. US keyboards.

Also, on level 7, after passport control, by the resturants, before going to the gates. It's marked Samsung. Asian keyboards, but usable.

The Thai Royal Orchid lounge has 2 terminals as well (*Gold Access).

Thanks for this info - good to know.

Know of any Wi-Fi at HKG?

There was WLAN access at HKIA offered by PCCW/HKT for a fee. I used it but this was 18 months ago. Not sure if there still is any WLAN but I'll look later this month when I'm there again.

rjh, Are these three terminals by Gate 63 pretty easy to find? I didn't notice them when I transited this week. (I think that I came into Gate 63, lower level then came up the escalator by Gate 61.)

Mark,

When you come up the escalator after the security re-screening, and make a left (instead of a right to reach gates 61/63), I noticed some terminals inside a gift shop - but there seemed to be about 8-10 terminals (and it looked like free access too).

The Macs by gate 63 are inside the DFS store and aren't really hidden, but it helps to know they're there.

The terminals used to be outside near the moving walkways and always had a bunch of folks milling around them, but were apparently moved inside for some reason.

When they were outside one or more was often out of order, which may have had something to do with their being moved.

There are at least 20 free internet terminals at the food court upstairs after the passport control.

Thanks Rich,

I did find the three MACs at the rear of the DFS Store more or less opposite Gate 63. A little ways down towards Gate 65, there is another DFS Store with 10 ~ 12 MACs as well.
