Most excellent find! Thanks for sharing ^
(I hadn't checked my email before replying- I have it as well. Maybe it's going out to all AAdvantage members as away to get us hooked, drug-dealer style: The first one is free...)
Cheers.

I got the same email, the code <redacted> seems to be generic, so it can be used all summer!

I hope that they roll out more service during the period - I don't fly to New York...
The gogo website doesn't indicate more data on which md80s has this service added yet. Is there any word yet on additional routes?

Curses, was on a gogo MD80 Friday and was too cheap to shell out for the service. Will definitely use this next time. Thanks OP.
And I will look to see if there is a thread for discussing it, but gogo was installed on my MD80 from ORD-TUS Friday evening.

i tried the service (paid) a few months back on JFK-SFO i think; couldn't get it working on my laptop but worked fine with my iphone and blackberry wifi. people kept looking at me as if i were crazy for using a cell phone on the plane.
it was actually quite annoying as the only in-seat power was via the lighter connector which i obviously wasn't carrying. after trying a while to no avail my laptop ran out of juice.
anyway, you might want to bring an extra gadget to ticker around with just in case there's some incompatibility with the laptop.

Actually, AA is very generous with power ports. But it's up to you to carry the adapter.

yeah, i guess so. i'm probably one of the few EXP that don't deserve it - i get most of my miles on other carriers. don't fly AA that often anymore after moving - but aadvantage is 50x better than everything else out there
