I've used it on other airlines and it works great.
It's a good product, very easy to use. When they start up, they have a team walking around offering free trial cards to people in the waiting area

I'm glad that inflight wifi is finally taking flight on US. It's just too bad that it's overpriced for flights over 3 hours, with no in-seat power. Hopefully if US sees low usage on longer flights, they'll lower the price point accordingly. Or better yet, maybe Hector will have a justification to have 110V power ports installed. (Would this fall under Hector?)

Many of the new netbooks have 6 or more hours of power now. I think we're going to see that as the new norm in all notebook and netbooks. I have a new one that has 9 hours of power. Powering the seats now maybe a useless expense, then again, a useless expess is SO USairways.

No logo, no service...isn't that what the press release says?

13 done so far.
2 East and 11 West aircraft. Don't quote me on the exact. I can't remember.
None are activated as yet.
Somewhere around 50 or so to complete.
It shouldn't be too hard to rip out a few years down the road, as US has done with everything else we have installed over the years. Think Verizon in-flight phones, TV screens, coat closets Business Select.............etc.
Also Pilot Electronic Brief Case Mod on a couple 319's in the works. Stay tuned.

You realize that they are just using the standard GoGo price that all participating airlines use, right?

I guess everybody should go out and buy new laptops, so they can get their money's worth when they fly US. 😉

I did not realize that. In that case, I hope that when US's bean counters analyze the usage reports, they take into consideration the fact that people who would otherwise have bought the service did not want to spend $12.95 for what will amount to about 2 hours' worth of usage.

WN went with Row 44 because of GoGo's tight grip on everything to do with their service, including minimum pricing and even the sticker beside the door and next to the seat number placards. Ironically, the part of GoGo's pricing that US didn't use are the packages. There's a 24 hour pass for $13 (same as a single flight over 3 hrs) and $30 for 30 days, both for use on a single airline, that would be a reasonable deal for people that flew often or made connections. Most of the airlines that are using GoGo are offering those packages.
