A lovely little gift from Google for business travelers

If you’re flying on these three airlines this holiday season–AirTran, Delta and Virgin America — you’ll be receiving an unexpected little gift. You’ll be able to access Wi-Fi absolutely free.
Google Chrome says it will partner with the three carriers to offer free “Gogo Wi-Fi” on domestic flights through Jan. 2, 2011.
That means you’ll be able to conduct research, write and send information ahead while you fly, no down-time, no spotty service. That’s just one less hassle—and a big one at that—to deal with over the holidays. Talk about lowering stress levels.
According to David Cush, president and CEO of Virgin America, in-flight Wi-Fi is a key factor with travelers who book tickets with his airline. “We saw a jump in the number of guests logging on after last year’s free Wi-Fi gift,” Cush said in a statement, adding he expects another increase this year. “Once people try Wi-Fi at 35,000 feet they rarely go back.”
I concur.
