DL is teaming up with eBay to offer free Wi-Fi service on all its Go-Go equipped flights for 1 week.

I am definitely using it tomorrow for my transcon trip!!!
Hope the SAN-ATL 757 has it.

I used it on my last two flights a couple of days ago...works great. Thank DL!

Quoting DTWLAX (Thread starter): I am definitely using it tomorrow for my transcon trip!!! Hope the SAN-ATL 757 has it.

It should since they typically use the 75X (ex-Song a/c) on that route. But with the Thanksgiving holiday, you never know what their a/c schedulers will do. I'm flying ATL-LAS tonight and hope that the 757 is a 75X with the WiFi.

Quoting Srbmod (Reply 2): I'm flying ATL-LAS tonight and hope that the 757 is a 75X with the WiFi.

I did ATL -> LAS Tuesday night on a 763 with NO WiFi! 

I use it a LOT -- works very well.

Coming back to TPA on NW metal though --- 

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

It's a great system. Using it as we speak on a 738 to ATL!

I use it everytime it's avail, and it was especially great last Saturday on my redeye given I couldn't sleep.

Quoting Skymiler (Reply 3): I did ATL -> LAS Tuesday night on a 763 with NO WiFi!

That's because only a few of the 763 domestics have had the system installed. It makes me glad that my flight got downgraded to a 752 since I have a better chance of having WiFi.

75X or not you should have a good chance, as of 11/17/09 there were 103 757s complete so chances are whether its a Transcon or regular ol' 75, you're in luck..

My friend sent me a text last night when he got on his plane to Florida that was basically "Holy crap, this thing has WiFi!!!". I told him about the fleet conversion and he said he was definitely going to use it. Haven't talked to him since to see how he liked it but given the response on here I'm sure it was a good experience. I'm hopefully going to be getting a new laptop today, one that doesn't die after 10 minutes like my old one, so I'll actually be able to use the internet on my next flight. I'm pretty excited!  

Any idea it the 738 are equipped with it? I'm flying COS-ATL tomorrow and would love to have Wi-Fi

It is absolutely worth the penny even if I am paying for it. My ATL/LAS Trip on a 763 went by fast and sweetly.

I was even checking out Airliners.net on the flight (shameless plug I know)

Dont forget all the other free wifi offers also;

Virgin America in partnership with Google has free wi-fi for thru January 15th
United has free wi-fi thru December 31st
AA has a free wifi promotion till December 31st for anyone that locate their Admirals Club 70th anniversay promotion code
Airtran also free thru Dec 31st with promo code.

Enjoy!

the 763 only have a few frames (maybe just one......I miss widgetheads) that have it.

What planes does UA have Wifi on?

Quoting DeltaL1011man (Reply 11): What planes does UA have Wifi on?

The PS 752s.

I used it last night and perhaps made the first deletion in the history of Airliners.net from 30,000' (Now that's a shameless plug!). I spent some time on FlightAware, as for some reason, Delta's moving map on my flight did not include the map (all we had was the speed, altitude, outside temp., etc.).

what type of plane was it? IIRC all the birds i have been on that have PTVs have the maps.

DL is trying to drum up interest for onboard Wi-Fi even though there's mounting evidence that no one who isn't an a.net geek pays for it, even if the cost is just a flat $1 (seriously). See this report from The Economist.

Wi-Fi will either remain as a free service or disappear (again).

Quoting BlueFlyer (Reply 15): Wi-Fi will either remain as a free service or disappear (again).

I do not think it will disappear (AirCell's costs are WAY below that of Connexion by Boeing), but will become a very low cost ($50/yr??) or free service for high level frequent fliers. Casual users will still be able to sigh up for ad hoc usage.

This is the same model as the hotel chains (e.g. Hilton, Marriott, etc).

IMHO.

I'm writting from 37,000ft up in the air on my way to ATL on delta 738. Seems like no in flight movie or at least tv, weird we always have a movie on this flight.

At least you have Wifi!

How are the speeds? For example, could I use it to watch shows on Hulu or movies on my Netflix account?

I have used it twice on my transcon flights on Delta last month. Make sure you have multiple email addresses and you can save yourself some money.  

ATL-SAN route will have Wifi. Enjoy while it's free.

Quoting CatIII (Reply 19): How are the speeds? For example, could I use it to watch shows on Hulu or movies on my Netflix account?

If you start downloading the movie when you take off from JFK, you might get to see the opening credits over LAS or something like that...

Quoting Skymiler (Reply 16): This is the same model as the hotel chains (e.g. Hilton, Marriott, etc).

Actually, hotel chains are moving towards a Wi-Fi-inclusive model, the cost is rolled up into the price of the room.
