Delta is trying to get people to use GoGo wireless their new inflight wifi system letting you access the internet while you fly. While the service normally cost $10 per flight, you’ll get to try it the first time absolutely free. Now it seems that buses, trains, and even planes are coming standard with wifi connections.
