Internet access in the air? (Blog #2)

This article is about Virgin airlines now offering internet access in flight. This article was written by Roger Yu. This article talks about The Virgin airlines following American Airlines in offering the internet during flight. With this, flyers can email, download, and use secure websites in flight. This service is $9.95 to $12.95 depending on the route and how long the flight is. Since this feature has struggled the past two years, Virgin airlines is testing it out on one plane for a week and if it is successful, they will work on adding the feature to all of the fleet, 24 planes based out of San Fransisco, by the middle of next year. Although this feature seems to be continuely slow, customers (mostly frequent flyers/business travelers) seem to be very impressed and are looking forward to more added features like this one. In the future, Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Delta, and Continental Airlines are looking to also get this service in their flights.
