In a move to celebrate the holidays, and possibly to keep your mind off just how cramped in coach you really are, Google and Virgin America have partnered to offer free in-flight WiFi on all Virgin America flights from November 10, 2009 through January 15, 2010.
To take advantage of the offer you have to live near a city serviced by Virgin America, which much rules out everybody between the Appalachians and the Rockies. Still, for those lucky eligible few, a chance to browse the internet while you fly might be the thing to take the edge of holiday travel.

Of course, the question really will be how crappy the Internet access will end up on those flights. You're going to have a lot of self selection towards Internet users. There's only so much bandwidth available for the hundred+ people on the plane.
