Public Wi-Fi while travelling: how to protect your bookings and payments

While travelling it is common to connect to open Wi-Fi to check a booking or pay for something. Only a few precautions are needed, and they make a difference.

Common risks

Networks with similar names

Some networks imitate the name of the airport or hotel. Confirm the exact network name with staff before connecting.

Data shared without you noticing

On an open network, the data you enter may be less protected. Avoid making payments or entering important passwords on them.

What to do

Use mobile data for sensitive things

To pay or log in to your email, prefer your mobile connection. Check that the site starts with https.

Download what matters before you leave

Save your confirmations and vouchers offline so you do not depend on an unknown network when you need them.

A simpler way to check your trip

Before you travel, you can cross-check all your confirmations in one step by uploading them to AuditorTravel: it flags what doesn't add up with a traffic light (🟢 🟡 🔴).

You pay once per trip, it's not a subscription you have to remember to cancel.
