Delta passengers get free in-flight Wi-Fi over Thanksgiving too

Now Delta passengers don’t have to feel left out in the free in-flight Wi-Fi department. Thanks to eBay, Delta passengers will have access to free in-flight Wi-Fi on domestic flights Nov. 24-30, the Thanksgiving holidays. As you may recall, Google teamed up with Virgin America to offer their passengers free Wi-Fi throughout the holidays from Nov. 10 to Jan. 15. And now with Google offering free Wi-Fi at 47 airports throughout the holiday season, it’s all Wi-Fi, all the time, whether you are in the air or waiting for your flight.

Delta passengers will have to pay a price of a different kind. The first website they will come to when they get their free access is a holiday page on eBay. After all, ’tis the season for shopping. Budget Travel’s This Just In blog gave us the lead on all the behind the promotion meaning as spelled out by AdvertisingAge in the article, “EBay Gets Onboard With Delta for Holiday Promotion.”
