PS WiFi
January 15, 2009 – 12:00 pmUnited has announced that WiFi will be available on its profitable PS service flying between JFK and LAX/SFO. The service will be available in the second half of 2009 for a flat fee of $12.95. Many will herald this change and I am sure usage rates will be high. Frankly, I am surprised United isn’t charging $5 a hour. From that perspective, $12.95 seems like a deal.
Regardless, as WiFi makes it on to the airplane it is time to say goodbye to the last place where you email can’t reach out. Transcon flights will no longer be mini-vacations from email.
