United Airlines customers on transcontinental flights can check out a complimentary onboard Internet session with the new Try-Before-You-Buy promotion, offered in conjunction with airborne
communications provider Aircell.
Through Dec. 31, first-time users of Aircell's Gogo Inflight Internet service will be offered one free session upon creating a new account. Gogo enables
customers with Wi-Fi enabled devices such as laptops, smartphones and PDAs to surf the Web, check email, send and receive instant messages, and access a virtual private corporate network.
The
service is available on all of United's flights between New York's Kennedy and the airline's Los Angeles and San Francisco hubs.--Tanya Irwin
