Delta and AirCell announced an agreement to bring Wi-Fi service to all Delta Flights by the summer of 2009, the service is not free and will run you $9.95 to $12.95 depending on how long your flight is. Kind of expensive if you as me, I wonder if the price goes down after a certain time in the air.
According to CNN, the service will be available on 133 MD 88 and MD 90 plans (some of the most uncomfortable in the Delta Fleet) and will be expanded to the 200 or so Boeing plans the company has.
American Airlines will offer the same service later this year, but only on 15 of their aircraft, I guess this is another reason to switch from AA to Delta as I have this year.

So they’re going to give you wifi for $10, but if you want to take bring bags on your trip it will cost $15 per bag. I just heard that one of the airlines is charging $7 for a pillow and blanket now. Sounds like it’s steal of a deal to get wifi for only $10.
