I was using a public WiFi spot at the airport and noticed that certain websites on Safari were being blocked. I was able to go to these websites when I used my own data, but I have limited data so is there a way to bypass this?

MacScan 3 - [Subscription $50 pa] with free trial. idk whether the free trial will let you actually remove anything it finds. Prime task is to remove bad cookies. I've been using it since v1 & have never 'caught' anything it couldn't kill, though that in itself doesn't prove it will kill everything, only the ones I've seen.
For an actual 'antivirus' - rather than me post a list, it would be better to refer you to AV-TEST, which is the closest thing to an actual authority on the subject, or specifically their most recent Mac report . As of their last report, July 2016, they list 4 products with a 100% hit-rate, yet only two which can do that without leaning on your machine & slowing it down, BitDefender & ESET. Neither of those are are free.
They update the report twice a year, so the main link should remain usable in future, as the specific July 2016 report falls out of date.
Safari 6/OS X doesn't support TLSv1.2. Sites only supporting the TLSv1.2 protocol like biblio.lu won't work in Safari 6.
You can cross-check/compare your browser's result at SSL Client Test with the SSL Server Test (e.g. SSL Server Test testing biblio.lu).
No supported protocols overlap between Safari 6.1.6/Mac OS X 10.7.5:
and biblio.lu
so no https access! Google Chrome 49.0.2623.112 (64-bit) - the last Google Chrome version supporting 10.6/10.7/10.8 works though.

Public WiFi hotspots, especially free ones, tend to block certain sites just to limit bandwidth usage or potential liability issues. Workaround number one you have already found: use your own cellular data, which is not always an ideal situation.
Note: depending on what you are trying to do online that WiFi hotspot might see you sending and receiving large amounts of data (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) and block your MAC address and you are, again locked out of that particular WiFi hotspot.
