Virgin America shows which planes have Wi-Fi when planning a trip: The airline is about halfway to equipping all its craft with Aircell’s Gogo Inflight Internet service, and, as a company spokesperson told me to expect, you can now see which flights are expected to have Wi-Fi when planning a trip.
There’s a long footnote explaining that “we intend to use a Wi-Fi equipped aircraft for this flight” but the airline can’t yet guarantee that. When all airplanes have Wi-Fi, the spokesperson explained that the Wi-Fi column would disappear replaced with more general information.
Delta, with what should be 75-80 planes equipped with Wi-Fi by this week, doesn’t yet offer such an option, which may be because with about 20 percent of the fleet hooked up, the firm doesn’t yet have a fixed schedule for which flights will have service, and may be swapping planes in regularly on various routes.
