As of today, in-flight Internet from Aircell’s Gogo service is available on three American Airlines routes:

New York - Miami

New York - San Francisco

New York - Los Angeles

To surf from your seat, you’ll need to book one of these routes on American’s Boeing 767-200 airplanes, the only planes offering the service right now. The cost is $12.95.

It’s hard for me to blog about the arrival of in-flight Internet service - my god, I’ve waited sooo long. And the waiting has gotten tiresome. I’d almost rather just forget about it until one glorious day, when I board a plane, and - bam! - I can use the time to catch up on all those articles and emails and RSS feeds I’ve been neglecting. Yes, many among you will no doubt read a sentiment like that and say, okay, bo-rang, go read a book or something.

But for me, the notion of in-flight Internet has always been accompanied by the imaginary trills of angels from on high.

And while I said I didn’t really *want* to blog about it, because it just makes me too emotional, here I find myself doing it anyway.

So I might as well tell you that American Airlines is now saying that after testing on one plane earlier this summer, its GoGo Inflight Internet service will be available later this month on at least 15 of its planes, the 767 200s, according to MSNBC story In-flight Internet Access Takes Off. Look out for the $12.95 service ($9.95 on shorter routes) on flights between JFK, LAX, San Francisco and Miami (as shown in the above map).
