It is awesome and a huge help for productivity. Is there any consideration/ capability to offer wifi for international routes?

What an awesome experience! I was able to not only surf the web, but I also cranked up my Sling Mobile and watched TV from my home DVR. The band-width was nearly perfect, with only a couple hiccups with streaming video. For typical web-surfing, I suspect the entire experience would be seamless. Great move DL! This type of innovation really sets you apart from the rest.

David,

Many widebodied aircraft already do. Check http://www.seatguru.com and search the the Delta fleet. Most of the time, you’ll need to be in the first several rows of coach, and I’m not sure if you have to be Medallion level to get to these seats.

The outlets I’ve seen are between the seats on a surface that “angles away” from the seats. You almost have to get on your knees to see the outlet, but it’s there!

Good luck.

Jeff W.

I know talking to one of the VP’s with AirCell, they are planning to offer different services possibly in the future, like a day pass or even a monthly pass for travelers like you!

It was great to land knowing they were taken care of and I didn’t need to rush to the hotel to work until midnight.

Yesterday was my 6th MD88 flight this month and next week I have 4 more. Most of my trips include a connection so I end up with 2 legs. It would be great to have a day pass or even better a monthly or annual pass. I can justify 1 or 2 WiFi charges on my expense report but 10 or 16 per month is not doable.

I know there are plans for more payment options. With another dozen or so trips in June I hope you can annouce them soon!

Thanks.

Thu, 14 May 2009 21:01:28 +0000 http://blog.delta.com/?p=4943#comment-3749 B787DL…automated announcements are keyed off fleet type so there shouldn’t be an issue unless we sub a 75E or an international 767 on a domestic route.

If SDQ is served by an M88, M90, 737, 757 or 767-300 then yes, those a/c and flights will offer Wi-Fi. There are no current plans to install Wi-Fi on regional jets.

Thanks for your interest in this project!

I’ve been following the project since the first press release and it is truly amazing how fast the implementation phase is going. Kudos for the IFE Team!

I have two questions: 1) Since the Wi-Fi Onboard identifier will be added to the schedule and boarding passes printed at home, are you guys planning to announce at the gate before boarding that Wi-Fi is not going to be available if there is an equipment change?

2) I’m based in SDQ and SLC. I know that once the 757 and 737 gets the appropriate equipment, I will have Wi-Fi available in my connecting flights to SLC (JFK-SLC and ATL-SLC), but, what about the SDQ? Will GoGo be available at least during the portion of the flight inside the U.S or near the U.S. Coast, or those flights won’t have Wi-Fi at all?

I know a lot of people have been asking about airline providing outlets for laptops with wifi. Do you know if Delta will be providing outlets on their planes for charging?

Thanks!
David
