We're concentrating on the domestic mainline fleet. i006076…there are no plans to outfit the international wide-body fleet with in-flight Internet access at this time.

Hopefully we'll have that feature available later this summer. AV…we’re still working on the delta.com indicator. The integration of the DL and NW Web sites has taken precedence.

The issue is that it costs about the same to install the system on an RJ as a mainline jet, but the potential user base is half that of a mainline a/c. Additionally, the short stage lengths also reduce the number of potential users. That said, we will closely monitor usage and customer feedback, and revisit our strategy as needed. mikewoodruff…there are currently no plans to install Wi-Fi on our regional fleet.

Looking forward to the fall when the full domestic fleet is enabled. Currently it feels like I am in Vegas rolling the dice and waiting with anticipation to board to see if there is wifi. In a previous blog you mentioned possible early notification VIA boarding pass, gate announcement or on the gate displays where so equipped. What is the status of pre-flight notification of WiFi capabilities? Thanks for listening and rolling out the other plans! Chris,

Any plans for your acquired 747-400 birds? I have reservations for next Spring (ATL-HNL) and this would be a nice perk. Chris,

Have had 2 flights with it, tails 639 and 946, fast connection and good price. My question is: If you're on a 767-300 from SLC to HNL, it has wifi, the flight path takes you over SFO. Would you technically be able to buy it for $5.95, would you have to pay as the full flight for $12.95, or would you not be able to buy it at all? Chris,

I was online while in flight and got an IM from a friend who was also in flight! (Another flight) I was over Colorado and he was over Ohio. I am impressed with the speed and ease of logging in. Looking forward to more aircraft being completed! Yesterday I had a fun thing happen. I was online while in flight and got an IM from a friend who was also in flight!

Are there any plans to have the Northwest 757s get wifi? Glad to see the DC9-50s will get wifi, which hopefully means Delta will keep them around for some time.

In any event, one thing that would really be attractive to me would be the ability to pay for a membership or WIFI session with Skymiles (instead of charging it to a credit card). Thanks for listening and best wishes.
