I love flying JetBlue for two reasons: it's cheap and it has live TV.
I flew with JetBlue to New York City this past July and was bursting with excitement because I didn't have to miss any of my favorite Thursday night TV shows while on the flight. Getting to watch "The Real Housewives" and Food Network, all while en route to the Big Apple? What else could I ask for?
Oh wait, there is something. How about Wi-Fi Internet?
USA TODAY posted this article announcing that JetBlue is the latest flight carrier to plan in-flight Wi-Fi. Now happy fliers can watch Food Network and check their email simultaneously.
According to the article, other commercial airlines like Virgin America and AirTran already offer Wi-Fi, but big names like Delta and Southwest are lagging behind.
Installing a Wi-Fi broadband in all JetBlue air crafts will "create the industry's best in-flight broadband for commercial aviation," said JetBlue in a press release. Installation, however, will not begin until the end of 2012.
Guess we'll have to wait a couple years to get the true in-flight TV-Internet experience, but it will definitely be worth the wait.
