Virgin America rolling out Gogo Wi-Fi service November 22
CrunchGear —
Our buds over at Jaunted just gave us the heads up that Virgin America will begin rolling out Aircell’s Gogo service, which we reviewed back in August, on November 22. The “beta” flight will take off from SFO, VA’s HQ, to JFK. Virgin plans to roll out the in-flight broadband service on one plane per week with a full rollout scheduled by March 2009. Oh, and they won’t filtering the service either. The RED system will eventually be wired in as well, but we won’t see that happen until later on in 2009.

Virgin America to debut fleet-wide in-flight WiFi early next year
IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —
... Virgin America will be rolling out Aircell GoGo WiFi service on one plane every week, until the entire fleet has been outfitted with Aircell’s GoGo hardware. Virgin America plans to charge a reasonable $10 for WiFi internet access on short flights, or $13 for longer-haul flights.
Virgin America is quickly becoming the airline carrier of choice for younger, tech-savvy travelers lucky enough to call one of Virgin America’s limited markets home.
