Chris, not a Wifi thing but is there any plan to be able to listen to ATC kind of like Channel 9 on UAL? Thanks.

Hi Chris, Happy New Year.
Do any of the Northwest aircraft have wifi yet? If so, how can I tell if a flight has it?
Thank you!

Chris – you indicated that all the 737-800’s except 3752, 3760-3761, 3763-3764, 3766, 3706, 3770 are equipped. How do I figure out if the flight I am taking (DL1269, BOS-SLC on 1/24/09) will have it? Thanks!

Chris: Are there plans to make WiFi available for CRJ’s, at least up front?
Thank you and happy new year.

Hi Chris,
I was on the FLL-LAX flight last week and didn’t know if the WiFi would work while crossing the Gulf, so I purposely waited until we got back over land near Louisiana before logging in. Does it work while over water?
