A WiFi wonderland in the sky... and on the ground!
November 10, 2009
The holiday season is always about connecting with friends, family... and the web. During the holidays in particular, the web brings us closer to others through the
email
we send,
YouTube videos
we share,
gifts
we buy,
holiday music
we listen to and
charitable donations
we make. That's why a few weeks ago,
Google announced
that we're working with Virgin America to give free WiFi to all passengers on Virgin flights this holiday season.
If you're one of the millions of people who will be flying during this busy travel period, chances are you may spend more time in the airport than on the plane itself. So, starting today and lasting through January 15th, we're happy
to announce
that we will be offering free WiFi in 47 airports across the country. You can see the
full list of airports here
. This is one of our holiday gifts to our users, and, when you connect, we also hope that you'll take the opportunity to try some of the latest Google products. Our hope is that being connected for a few extra minutes (or hours, if you're delayed!) will help make things a bit easier. Be sure to look for the Google signs in an airport near you.
Here's to the beginning of a happy, healthy holiday season!
Update
on 11/25:
We're excited to add seven new airports to our
free holiday WiFi program
— Washington-Dulles, Washington-Reagan National, Phoenix, Columbus (OH), Albany, Boise and Asheville (NC). With the addition of these airports more nearly 130 million passengers will travel through a Google WiFi sponsored airport this holiday season.
And, whether you're flying or not,
you can enter our Holiday Photo contest
and enter to win Virgin America tickets, Verizon Motorola Droid phones or Canon digital cameras — the deadline for submissions is December 16.
