Alaska Airlines Gives Facebook for Free to Celebrate Their WiFi-Equipped Fleet

June 7, 2011 at 11:40 AM | by | Comments (0)

Alaska Airlines has been slowly but surely working to get all their airplanes fully equipped with the magic that is in-flight internet access, and right now they’re pretty much all the way there.

They’ve got a couple more planes here and there to finish, but by the end of June they’re thinking that around 92 percent of their planes will be equipped and able to hit up Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and more from around 35,000 feet in the sky thanks to Gogo—and this even includes flights in and around Alaska.

To celebrate crossing the finish line, the airline is teaming up with Facebook to offer free access to the social networking site through the month of June. That means that you too can tell everyone that you’re writing this and that from the comfort of your coach seat and tray table desk.

Just don’t get too excited talking to friends and family for free, as there’s also a contest that you’ll probably want to enter. Alaska Airlines has created a Facebook app where you can take a shot at winning a free trip to Hawaii. The little online game is called "Nuts For Hawaii," and each Wednesday through July 20 the airline is giving away two free tickets for a trip to paradise. So if you’re flying from Anchorage to Seattle tomorrow aboard Alaska Airlines, don’t forget to try to click your way towards a free vacation.
