HTTPS solved much of the security issues of untrusted networks. As long as you're not doing banking or whatever, you should be fine without a VPN.

Why would banking be an issue? I get that its a target, but I really would expect a bank to take care of their TLS.

Also i would expect banks to use some sort of 2FA where you have to manually confirm any transaction on your mobile device, or enter a code generated from there into your computer.
