Right now, Virgin America, United, Delta, American and Southwest are just some of the airlines offering in-flight Wi-Fi as an extra perk (a perk that usually costs about $12 or $13 per flight).
How popular is the feature? Well, according to a study by the Wi-Fi Alliance back in August, 76% of frequent-fliers would change airlines just to get access to Wi-Fi. Today, Google has announced that it will be offering free in-flight Wi-Fi on all Virgin America flights from November 10, 2009 through January 15, 2010.

This isn't the first time that Virgin America and Google have teamed up. Back in June, Google sponsored a "Day in the Cloud" virtual scavenger hunt and kicked-off the event by piling a ton of bloggers and techies onto two Virgin America flights (including our very own Ben Parr).
Dealing with airports during the holidays can be a really frustrating experience, so having free Wi-Fi is a definite perk.
