Virgin America from Seattle to SF = Free WiFi
Virgin America from SF to DC =/= Free WiFi
Delta has no WiFi at all of any kind, yet American Airlines offers on its larger flights WiFi for an exorbitant amount of money if you think about the amount that you pay per month for Internet at home.
Sea-Tac Airport has WiFi for free only in certain sections, Atlanta Airport doesn't have it in any sections, and yet the Jackson Mississippi Airport offers it to all for Free.
But what really gets my goat is the way that fancy hotels gouge you on WiFi. I recently was forced to stay overnight in a not so nice motel in Dallas (thanks American Airlines for cancelling my flight and offering me no other options but to stay overnight in Dallas), but, much to my surprise, they had free WiFi. Then I stayed in a perfectly nice hotel in Jackson, MS that also offered free WiFi. But when I stayed in a downright fancy Hyatt in downtown Atlanta they freaking charged me an arm and a leg per day for WiFi use. Thats right, the most expensivo of all the hotels that I stayed in this summer and on top of it all I payed significantly more then I do per month for Internet at home for a mere two days of Internet use at this silly fancy pants hotel. So seriously people, WTF???? Why this WiFi injustice????

Cheap places use free wifi to compete with other cheap places.
Expensive places cater to those who either can afford it, or aren't paying for themselves (business travelers).
interesting...virgin america didn't have free wifi on my flight! even though expensive wifi angers me, it's kind of nice because it forces me to not work :-)
