Like others, I've only had one or two with Wifi, and they were new ones ex SEA-ORD. I flew on a new one tonight LAX-DFW without wifi. Would have been nice to have!

How can you tell new 738 vs old? I fly 738s all the time and am presently on one at gate DFW-SNA. All 738s I've been on in the past 6 months have the newer first class seats, but only a very small percent have had Wi-Fi. I have unlimited GoGo pass so it really irks me when I can't use it.

Here's a photo of a KLM 737 with the eyebrow windows plugged and painted. http://www.airliners.net/photo/KLM--...406/1469762/M/

New 738's already have GOGO from the factory but it takes forever to turn on due to some testing stuff. You can look on gogo's website and it will show you the percentage of aircraft equipped
