Alaska Air Trying to Add Wifi on all Flights!
Filed Under News
It looks like Alaska Airlines is the newest airline to promise us Wifi internet on board all their flights! They are going to test a Wifi system from Row 44 on a 737 in the spring. If all goes well with their test, they will add Internet on all their planes! Reports have said Alaska has been working hard with Row 44 to make this a success.
As far as pricing, (all hope it is free Wifi), we do not know at this time. I personally am truly excited to start seeing airlines add this to their fleets! It is about time they start to give some entertainment options for passengers!
Completely agreed John!
If adds Wifi on the Alaska flights, does any airplanes signals will get disturbed by Wifi connection? But it’s cool to have Wifi rather than do nothing and sleep on the plane for the long hours
That’s good news especially for frequent Alaska Airlines flyers. Businessmen can keep track of their businesses through the internet while teens can kill the long flight hours by surfing youtube or checking out their friendster or multiply sites. Hope the airlines test goes well.
Very good news for the business people!
Not only for the business peep! I’m looking forward for the *free* internet on the airplanes too!
This would be a great thing.
its about time… that would be so nice, especially on those long international flights. i just worry that it might not work due to something that has to do with terrorists. i also can see them charging you for internet use… it is the airline companies after all…
very good news for business people and especially the kids, hope it works out well!
Honestly it’s a HUGE selling point for airlines… I already have to pay hundreds for my ticket… having the ability to access work easily almost eliminates the “cost” of being away from my desk
Now if only the battery life of my computer was last longer than a couple of hours.
btw, am I the only one who thinks the guy on the tail of the plane looks like Bob Marley?!
This is absolutely great news. Alaskan Air will gain more flyers as a result. First to market wins some.
Eventually all the airlines will have it!
I was reading an article in USA Today this week on how hotels have been realizing the importance of wifi and they have been late to the game. Wifi is a way of life for lots of us…
I think that will be nice for my travels. keep blogging my way around the world!
I could spend endless hours online, and time seems to fly by when I’m working, or just online in general. So for me, I bet those flights would seem so much faster!
I would totally want to fly on an airline if they had free wifi. It cracks me up that airlines don’t, what are the geeks supposed to do?
Cool, then I finally have something to do on my flights. I hope also the other airlines will follow. I always get bored on long flights. Although lately I just play games and time flys too.
Is good to hear that adding Wifi on flight!! It is great and with the internet passenger won’t get bored with their long journey in the plane!! Passenger can surf on internet and it is also a benefit for business peoples!
Wow, thats awesome.
Its about time they started adding it. You would think there already would be wifi in most aircrafts.
I hope all of the major airlines do this…I’ll be flying a lot more if they do. ;o)

if this is true then is really great.. looking forward to have this kind of service since the past…hopefully will really come true la…
That would be cool. I get insanely bored sitting on planes.
That would be awesome to have wifi on flights. I bet you money they charge for it though. Just like airlines charge to watch a movie.
Brilliant! I’ve got a few London - San Francisco flights coming up in the near future and would love to have WiFi. I hope BA adopts this and they don’t attach an exorbitant charge to it.
i bet when this gets implemented i bet there will be a huge increase in the number of laptop betteries sold :O those things can be kinda expensive, especially the ones that last over 3 hours.
wow its a great news.will make the journey entertaining.
nice step if the prices do not rise.
Great news for everyone specially for the business men and for the children. Hope they will maintain the rate.
