Onboard Wi-Fi provider Gogo is offering passengers on many US airlines 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi to get some holiday shopping in during their flights.
Starting today, the day before Thanksgiving and two days before the Black Friday holiday shopping frenzy, the FlyBuy Wednesday promotion, which actually runs through Jan. 1, enables passengers to browse and transact in the Gogo Fly & Buy Holiday store, featuring offerings from Barnes & Noble, BestBuy.com, FTD.com, Harry & David, hayneedle.com, JCPenney, Lobster Gram, Macy’s, Omaha Steaks and Wine.com among others, depending on the airline.
The free 30-minute online shopping session is avalable where Gogo in-flight Internet is offered: all domestic AirTran, Virgin America and Alaska Airlines flights; all domestic mainline Delta Air Lines flights; and select Air Canada, American Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways flights.
And, here's Gogo "spokesman" Trav Lehrman to get you in the mood to try "the Internet in the sky."
