Alaska Airlines is taking Wi-Fi to the skies on six Boeing 737-800 aircraft, the company announced earlier this week. The Wi-Fi service comes courtesy of Aircell's Gogo inflight Internet and will be offered free of charge for the next couple of months by entering the promotional code ALASKAVISA.
"Through July 31, our customers traveling on Wi-Fi-equipped planes will be able to try out the new Gogo service at no cost, courtesy of the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® Card," said Joe Sprague, Alaska's vice president of marketing.
Alaska Airlines said it plans to install Gogo on the company's entire fleet of 737-800s and -900s by the end of summer, with 737-400s and -700s to follow suit later this year.

I had the opportunity to try out GoGo for free this past weekend on AirTran and it was great. I don't object too much to the pricing either, I think it's pretty reasonable. 5 bucks for an hour and a half isn't bad considering that's pretty much the cost of a soda now in the terminal.
Only problem I had was that my laptop battery ran out of juice, and there's no power jacks on the smaller planes :/
