Experienced fliers are no longer simply satisfied by being able to find cheap airplane tickets and cheap travel packages. They want flights which offer the latest in flight entertainment options, especially Wi-Fi connectivity.

Intercontinental flights have experienced difficulties finding a reliable, cost effective way of providing passengers with Wi-Fi service while over water. Today, in flight Internet relies on transmitting signals from the ground. Intercontinental flights have held back offering Wi-Fi because of the cost and the additional weight of equipment necessary for satellite transmission.

The good news is that trans-continental Internet service will finally be offered by several airlines later this year. Qantas will shortly start testing satellite based Internet service on flights between Australia to Los Angeles. Japan’s JAL Airline plans on introducing Internet service on planes flying from Japan to Europe and North America this summer.

United Airlines is reported to be exploring Internet service on its international flights. Emirates Airlines is planning on testing satellite based ...
... Internet service on its A380 double deck, wide body jets.

Over the last couple of years almost all U.S. airlines have announced their intention to install Internet service on domestic aircraft.
US Airways will soon offer in flight Internet service on its fleet of Airbus A319, A320, and Embraer 190 planes.

Amazon is partnering with Delta Airlines to provide passengers with free access to the online retailer’s website onboard all Delta and Delta Connection flights that offer in flight Wi-Fi service.
