I can't wait until the WiFi is on all the planes. Hopefully we'll see more MD-90's soon. Flying on an MD-88 as I write this and the service has been great!

The aircraft had fliers promoting the GoGo product. That got my hopes up. It turns out the a/c was not equipped w/GoGo. Why promote the service on a plane where it's not available?

Seems like it would be a nice perk but not sure how it would be executed. Perhaps an a card with an access code that could be passed out to first class but now sure how'd you'd do this effectively for medallions in coach. Maybe an e-mail out to medallion level flyers with the opportunity to create an account that gives unlimited free access for the calendar year? I'm sure there is a way to do this. Also, is the cost of service on a per segment basis or does it get you 24 hours of access like a T-mobile hot spot kind of deal?

You most likely won't have it on your LAX-SYD flight, as the Aircell system connects to cell towers on the ground; your flight will be mostly over-water. data8504: I’m pretty sure the MD-88’s are getting it first because they are the only Delta (not NW) mainline jets that have no form of IFE (other than the Sky Magazine).

No movies, no music, nothing. So after the 88s are done everything will have at least some form of IFE. The 737s and domestic 757s are coming, we can be sure of that. On the 777s, you've got PTVs in every seat with Audio and Video on Demand. I'm sure you'll find something to keep you entertained. mikeh3: This is also a guess, but I think you were able to connect to the airplane's router, just as if you were in the air. But the router probably didn't have a connection to the internet. It's the same thing as when you're digital cable is out but not your electric. You can still connect to your router, but the connection ends there. data8504: This is just a guess, but I believe they are doing the 88s first because they are they only ones without any sort of IFE at all.

For me it makes sense to pay considering how many hours I am in the air on Mondays and Fridays. Unfortunately, so far, I only saw the service on flights like the shuttle between LGA and BOS. Why would I pay for barely 25/30 minutes of service? It does not make sense! I am not sure what prompted to install that service on MadDogs first ... but it is frustrating not to have more 737/757 ready since they operate 90% of the East-West routes.
