Almost all of the airports I've previously been to either 1) have no internet access 2) require a payment for the use of crappy wi-fi. So now, I find myself sitting in the Charlotte Intl. Airport on free non-suck wi-fi.. neat. They have a nice [new] business center with free wi-fi and wired access. I'm impressed, since just a couple months ago they had next to nothing.
Half the staff [dressed up as either pilgrims or turkeys] is also giving out free candy to everyone, it seems. I passed on that, since there's a Krispy Kreme store in the terminal.. mmm.
Neat. Not sure the next time when I'll be at MCO, but I'll keep it in mind. IP-over-DNS is also a possibility, but I never had a free domain to "burn" for such experimentation: http://slashdot.org/articles/00/09/10/2230242.shtml

The Orlando International Airport (airport code "MCO", as strange as it might sound) also seems to have free Wi-Fi. Though it isn't very fast, its better than nothing.
I really hate those pay-services, since you're never in the airport long enough usually to justify paying money for internet access, no matter how cheap they make it. What I have discovered, though, is often those pay-service setups still forward ICMP out to the internet... So an IP-over-ICMP tunnel "might" work, though it'll likely play havoc on all the routers in-between.
One potential plus-side is that I actually know a couple of guys who work for one of the companies that runs these setups, so I might be able to still get access anyways. But I don't think I've ever been in one of the airports they manage, and bugging them isn't worth it for 20 minutes of internet access.
