Delta Partners Amazon for Creative Inflight WiFi Option

Delta is getting creative with its inflight WiFi service by partnering Amazon to give passengers free access to Amazon.com and Amazonwireless.com onboard all Delta and Delta Connection flights.

"Delta continues to offer new technology and innovation that delivers on our customer preferences while they travel with us," said Bob Kupbens, Delta's vice president – Marketing and Digital Commerce. "Our customers enjoy our free content options inflight and free access to Amazon provides a convenient way to shop online at 30,000 feet for things they want on the ground."

To access Amazon while inflight, customers open their internet browser, access the Delta Connect WiFi portal and click on one of the Amazon banners to begin shopping. Delta Connect also provides free access to real-time travel information, news content from The Wall Street Journal and People magazine, exclusive shopping deals and entertainment options by Delta and its on-board wireless provider Gogo.

Delta operates one of the world's largest WiFi-equipped fleets of aircraft, including its entire fleet of 550 domestic mainline aircraft. More than 800 Delta aircraft, including most Delta Connection two-class regional jets, are equipped with inflight WiFi service.
