Free wireless will be coming to two local airports in the spring, according to airports officials.

Currently both Ronald Reagan National and Washington Dulles International airports provide wireless access but users need to pay for it by the day if they don't already have a subscription. But the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which manages the airports, is working to make the service free by this spring, officials said Wednesday.

They still have to work out some contractual details, officials said.

Most business travelers have their own wireless services, said MWAA spokeswoman Courtney Mickalonis, making the current policy not an issue for them. But she said the rest of travelers have been asking about adding the service.
