IE last week I flew from Anchorage, AK to Salt Lake City, UT to Atlanta, GA to Melbourne, FL. Would I pay $12.95 + $12.95 + $9.95 or would the initial $12.95 cover me for the day? Curious if provisions will be made for multiple leg flights?

The e-mail ad I received states: "Maximize your time in flight with broadband Wi-Fi". I think I would word that a little differently. Why would anyone want to maximize their time in flight? Bad Ad.

The price IMO should be shown before anyone connects.

Instead, when you open a web browser, you will be directed to the Delta Gogo webpage which will prompt you for payment information depending on the length of flight. This is the way many companies have their Wi-Fi set up and it seems to be the easiest. This way, once you've purchased you access, you will enter a username and password more than likely to access the internet and utilize the signal. Chris, am I correct?

Will the speeds in first class be faster? Also where there be useage caps? Will there be a required software download to use the wi-fi or will you just need to access the SSID? Can people pre-pay for access when they buy their ticket? Also if its a family with multiple computers will they have to pay full price for each laptop or will it be discounted after the first? :)

I'm sure you won't have many problems involving inproper judgement when it comes to internet access, however you should act swiftly and professionally should something arise. Hopefully I'll see this service on Northwest sooner or later as well ;) Well, it’s good that finally someone has met the needs of their customers.
