On the Delta blog, Chris mentions that by the end of the summer more than 300 Wi-Fi-equipped Delta aircraft will be flying border-to-border and coast-to-coast. Currently 139 aircraft (or nearly half of Delta’s domestic fleet) are equipped with Gogo inflight internet, including the entire MD-88 fleet.

Service is offered in both first and economy class on a pay-per-flight basis.

Purchase options include:

  • $7.95 for handheld devices (regardless of flight time)
  • $9.95 for flights less than 3 hours
  • $12.95 for flights of 3 hours or more

Wi-Fi is available across the continental United States while the plane is above 10,000 feet (at speeds similar to wireless mobile broadband services on the ground).

Looks like the only excuse I’ll have not to be connected anymore is camping in non wi-fi equipped campgrounds.
