Alaska Airlines testing Wireless Internet System

Published on TravelWeekly 10/3/07

ALASKA AIRLINES said it would test a satellite-based, in-flight, wireless Internet system on one of its aircraft next year with the goal of adding wireless Internet to its entire fleet by the end of 2009. The airline said it would install Westlake Village, Calif.-based Row 44 Inc.’s broadband service on a Boeing 737 jet next spring. If the system works, all of its 114 planes would receive it. Customers with Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, smart phones, personal digital assistants and gaming systems would be able to connect to the system through wireless hot spots in the aircraft cabin. Row 44’s system is designed to work over water and across international borders. Alaska said it is researching pricing options for the service ranging from free service to day passes. If the system works, Alaska would become the first U.S. carrier to have wireless Internet capabilities on its entire fleet.

Disney Cruise Line Offer Airline Check-in Service

Disney Cruise Offers Airline Check-in Service
Published on: Modernagent 10/3/07

Disney Cruise Line this fall will begin offering Onboard Airline Check-In to certain guests. This new service will allow qualified guests to check in for their post-cruise flights while onboard the Disney Magic or Disney Wonder, eliminating the need to do so at Orlando International Airport. Guests participating in Onboard Airline Check-In will enjoy the ease and convenience of not having to collect their luggage upon debarkation — checked luggage will be transported directly from the ship to the guest’s flight. While on their cruise, guests’ boarding passes will be delivered to their staterooms the day prior to disembarkation.

Upon the ship’s return to Port Canaveral, participating guests can proceed directly to Customs and then to Orlando International Airport where they bypass check-in and continue straight to airport security and on to their assigned departure gate. To take advantage of this service, guests will need to meet certain requirements and be booked on a domestic flight on one of the seven participating air carriers: AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines, or United Airlines/Ted. Eligible guests will be able to enroll for Onboard Airline Check-in by completing pre-registration information received at Orlando International Airport or one of the Disney Cruise Line Hospitality Desks at the Walt Disney World Resort and turning it in during check-in at Port Canaveral.
