Wi-Fi On an RJ – Yes It Really Does Exist

Posted by MJ on Travel | Oct 8, 2011 | Airlines, Flight Reviews, Travel Tech | 2

I’m comfortably ensconced into seat 2A aboard Delta flight 5285 from DTW to EVV. The flight is operated with an ASA CRJ-700, and much to my surprise, as I boarded I saw the “Wi-Fi On Board” decal. Hot damn! Now, this flight isn’t really long enough to accomplish much of anything, but the $4.95 price point was certainly workable for me just for the sake of saying I’d surfed the net from an RJ. So here I am. Blogging from an RJ. Who woulda thunk? 🙂

Delta announced the first install of Wi-Fi a little over a month ago. It’s good to see it in action.

This is one reason I love Delta. Great in flight experience. Of course, plenty of reasons to hate Delta (72 hour award no change role).

I was on a CRJ-900 yesterday from BOS-CVG and it had wifi as well. It worked great! I no longer dread flying the RJs on DL. United and US are another story.
