Gogo's partners in this promotion include AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, United Airlines, U.S. Airways and Virgin America.

It'll work like this: Once the travelers are allowed to turn on tablets, phones, laptops and other personal electronic devices, they will be able to access the Gogo Wi-Fi network, and then click on the Ford/Facebook banner to access Facebook.

If you want to access something other than Facebook, you'll have to pay a fee, starting at $4.95 and depending on the flight's duration. Gogo says that Facebook is its number-one website visited by travelers, and Gogo hopes that customers will get hooked to the service during the free promotion in February.

How do you feel about in-flight Facebook access? Would you use the free service? How much would you pay for in-flight Facebook or Internet access? Please, share your opinions in the comments.
