AA’s Wi-Fi Widget Identifies Aircraft with Wi-Fi Service

American Airlines is launching its new Wi-Fi Widget that enables customers to identify Wi-Fi-equipped flights 24 hours prior to departure. The tool allows travelers to determine if their American Airlines flight will be scheduled with Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft. Customers can also embed the Wi-Fi Widget in their own blogs, websites, and social network sites.

Simply enter your flight number or select your flight’s departure airport from a drop-down menu to find out in seconds if your flight is scheduled on a Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft. Recently American completed the installation of Wi-Fi on 150 MD-80 aircraft. Combined with the 15 Boeing 767-200 aircraft that also have the service, American Airlines fleet now has 165 planes with Wi-Fi.
