From now until Jan. 29, passengers can plunk down $9.95 per flight to surf on a laptop and $7.95 to access the Internet on smaller devices such as a smartphone or WiFi-enabled media players like the iPod touch. AirCell\u00a0also provides <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2009\/08\/20\/gogo-in-flight-broadband-is-1-year-old\/\">its GoGo in-air Wi-Fi service<\/a> on Delta and American Airlines flights in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>And because Aircell currently only has regulatory approval and the <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2008\/03\/11\/gogo-inflight-broadband\/\">antenna coverage<\/a> that enables airlines to offer Wi-Fi in the U.S., Air Canada passengers can only get their Wi-Fi fix when flying over U.S. soil. Perhaps that accounts for the slight discount on Air Canada&#8217;s prices for Wi-Fi when compared to American&#8217;s charge of $12.95 for in-flight access.<\/p>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?w=780\" \/><\/div><hr \/><br \/><a href='http:\/\/ads.gigaom.com\/proxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fads.gigaom.com%2Fopenx%2Fwww%2Fdelivery%2Fck.php%3Foaparams%3D2__bannerid%3D154__zoneid%3D1__cb%3D44159e1ef2__oadest%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fostatic.com%252Fsponsored%252Fconcentric' ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ads.gigaom.com\/openx\/www\/images\/1b20b30bace333f83c85c4be1366923a.gif?resize=300%2C100\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" alt='' title='' border='0' \/><\/a><div id='beacon_44159e1ef2' style='position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; visibility: hidden;'><img src='http:\/\/ads.gigaom.com\/openx\/www\/delivery\/lg.php?bannerid=154&amp;campaignid=12&amp;zoneid=1&amp;loc=http%3A%2F%2Fads.gigaom.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fgigaom.com%252Ffeed%252F%253Fnoredirect%253D1&amp;cb=44159e1ef2' width='0' height='0' alt='' style='width: 0px; height: 0px;' \/><\/div><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?i=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?i=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?i=dumZdkHIr-0:riJkUipwMIA:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/OmMalik\/~4\/dumZdkHIr-0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Canada is testing an in-flight Wi-Fi service from Aircell on its flights between Toronto and Los Angeles and Montreal and L.A.
