Google Paying for WiFi on All Virgin America Flights

In-flight WiFi for all!

Not everyone has been privileged enough to experience Virgin America's in-flight Wi-Fi. However, thanks to Google, anyone flying Virgin America this holiday season can browse, blog and surf to their heart's content for free for the duration of their flight.

Google has partnered with the airline and agreed to pay for the WiFi on every single flight from November 10, 2009 to January 15, 2010. So if you're traveling to see relatives this year, consider this your first Christmas gift because Google is saving you thirteen bucks. It also means you don't have to talk to the creepy guy next to you offering you 'homemade bloody marys' in exchange for keeping him company for the duration of the flight.

Aww Google, I like you more and more.

Would Apple do something like this? Negative!

Free WiFi on all of an airline's flights sounds great, so when will Google somehow get Virgin to fly more places?

If that were the case she wouldn't be returning to model again this year, now would she?

A better gift than free Wi-Fi, would be similar models like the one pictured above for every willing passenger on every flight. I'm not flying to see anyone this holiday season, but I would find someone to go see if that were the case.

hmmm in 2005 we had flat rate highspeed wireless internet on all transatlantic flights with Scandinavian Airlines. The price was only 25 bucks for the whole flight.

What happened to that? Thats so long ago that Wikipedia, Facebook, twitter and google earth hardly existed.....
