Looks like Delta Airlines is looking to lure in passengers anyway they can.

Starting in 2009, Delta will be offering Wi-Fi to all their domestic flights by the first half of the year. They’re going to first put it on their MD88/90s planes next month, then install it on all their Boeing aircraft by 2009. 

Delta is choosing to go with Aircell Gogo Service, due to it’s lightweight and affordable price. Affordable being $9.95 for trips of three hours and shorter and $12.95 for flights over three hours. And the service is available for any device able to connect to the Internet.

So for those of you who can’t wait a few hours to check your MySpace page should look into Delta and see if they fly to all your favorite destinations.
