Happy holidays from Google Chrome: free holiday Wi-Fi at 30,000 feet
November 8, 2010
Not too long ago, flying home for the holidays meant disconnecting for several hours until you touched down at your destination. Today, Wi-Fi technologies allow us to stay connected even at 30,000 feet above the ground, so we can read the news, browse the web (to beat the long-haul boredom) and send that last-minute planning email before the family reunion. This holiday season, there will be more connected flyers than ever before.
On the Chrome team, we’re big fans of innovations that make our lives on the web and in the browser better—and it all starts with more ubiquitous access to the Internet. So for this holiday season, we’ve teamed up with
AirTran
,
Delta
and
Virgin America
to offer free Gogo Inflight Wi-Fi on every domestic flight from November 20, 2010 through January 2, 2011.
We were excited by the response from
last year’s
free holiday Wi-Fi program, and thought that this would be a perfect holiday gift to help you stay connected to your loved ones as you head home. You can find out more about this partnership at
www.freeholidaywifi.com
. If you haven’t tried
Chrome
yet, remember to download the browser before you take to the skies, or try it when you’re back on the ground.
