Wrapping up our Free Holiday WiFi program
February 1, 2010
In November, we officially
launched our Free Holiday WiFi gift
. 54 airports, one airline and many millions of connected WiFi users later, our two-month Free Holiday WiFi sponsorship ended on January 15. We're happy to have made this year's holiday travel season just a bit easier for the millions of people who logged on and connected at our participating airports and on Virgin America flights.
Though some airports will no longer have free WiFi, we're excited that Burbank,
Seattle
and most recently,
Boston
airports have all decided to offer free WiFi all year.
In the spirit of the season, passengers connecting to the networks donated over $250,000 to
Engineers Without Borders
,
One Economy Corporation
and
Climate Savers Computing Initiative
. With Google's matching donation, the three charities received over $500,000 in total.
Finally,
Edward Doan of Austin, Texas
won the grand prize of ten Virgin America tickets, a Motorola Droid from Verizon Wireless and a Canon SX200 digital camera. You can view a complete list of winners on the
contest site
