Claim Your Google Gift: Free Wifi on Virgin America Flights during the Holidays

free wifiBetween Nov 10, 2010 and Jan 15, 2010 Google is footing the bill to provide free Wifi to passengers aboard Virigin America flights.  

 

While I think this is cool, I wish Google could have picked a carrier that I actually fly, like United or Frontier.  But given they have a larger fleet, it probably would have cost Google a lot more to give this same gift.  

 

I think that it's interesting that Google is branding their free WiFi as a way to help limit the stress during the holidays.  "Whether it's using Gmail to confirm an airport pick up time with your brother, doing some last minute gift shopping for your niece on Google Product Search or searching Google.com for a good sweet potato pie recipe before touchdown — we hope this makes it a bit easier to stay connected with family and friends while you're up in the air."
