United Airlines has announced plans to add in-flight Internet service from Aircell on selected flights, beginning with service between New York’s John F. Kennedy airport and Los Angeles International, as well as from JFK to San Francisco International. Aircell’s GoGo service will be available for passengers in all classes for a flat fee of $12.95 per flight, and will initially be deployed on 13 Boeing 757 planes.
The announcement makes United the fifth major air carrier to announce in-flight Wi-Fi service; the others are American, Virgin, Delta (which acquired Northwest), and Air Canada.
