Free Facebook on Gogo-Enabled Flights

According to Gogo, the largest provider of inflight Wi-Fi in the domestic market, Facebook is the most-visited site on its network. Fortunately, access to the website is free for the month thanks to a sponsorship deal with Ford.

I have to think this looks great from a Gogo perspective. For one, they get some guaranteed advertising revenue from Ford. But I wouldn't be surprised if this boosts sales a bit. When I'm on Facebook, I'm usually taking a look at links that are being shared with friends, and I wouldn't be able to do that onboard unless I pony up the fee.

Hopefully this works better than Google's free holiday Wi-Fi. I loved taking advantage of that promotion, but from what I've heard anecdotally some people had trouble with the service on very crowded flights.

Nevertheless, enjoy Facebook stalking for free. You can find Gogo service on all flights onboard AirTran and Virgin America. It can also be found on certain Air Canada, Alaska, American, Delta, United, and US Airways flights.
