Experienced travelers go to great lengths to secure cheap airplane tickets and cheap vacation packages. Travel gadgets have become popular novelties, but Wi-Fi connections in the air do not seem to be as desired as many had thought. Currently less than 10% of fliers who could use Wi-Fi to log on to the Internet while flying actually do so. Existing Wi-Fi usage numbers are likely inflated by the Wi-Fi coupons airlines are offering and the initial introductory periods during which the service is free. Some experts believe that the biggest factor holding back wider use of Wi-Fi on planes is price and that as the session price is reduced, usage will increase. Some people believe that any price greater than free for this service is too much. The largest Wi-Fi service provider in the air is a company named Gogo which has eight large airlines using its service. Gogo charges $4.95 for Internet service on flights no longer than 90 minutes. The price is $9.95 for flights up to three hours and $12.95 on longer flights. Or you can opt for a flat monthly rate of $34.95 that is good on any of Gogo’s 8 airlines offering Wi-Fi. Interestingly its prices may be too expensive for even many business travelers. A recent survey of corporate travel managers determined that only about a third of the companies responding said they would reimburse employees for in-flight Wi-Fi expenses. Internet service on planes has been available for about 18 months and is currently available on less than one third (about 950 jets) of U.S. jets. As many as 2,000 U.S. planes are expected to be equipped by the end of this
