A Gift from Google: Free In-flight Wi-Fi this Holiday Season
Posted in: Google, Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili, wi-fi
It’s almost time for the holidays, and that means we’ll be packing our bags and heading home for some good food and some cheer. But that also means, many of us will be taking to the skies to get there. Well, today Google announced that is providing a gift to help you keep in touch with your friends and family while flying.
Google Chrome has teamed up with Delta, Virgin America, and AirTran Airways to offer free in-flight Wi-Fi for the holidays. This service will be available from November 20, 2010 through January 2, 2011on all domestic flights. Google offered a similar free Wi-Fi program last year, but has now extended it to more than just the Virgin America airline and also will not be offering free Wi-Fi in the airports, only in-flight.
While providing a helpful holiday service, Google is promoting Google Chrome, it’s Web browser, by using it as the sponsor and encouraging passengers to download the browser before flying. So if your flying on one of these airlines this holiday season, you’ll still be connected at 30,000 feet. Thank you, Google Santa.
