A330s and 763ERs
Am on N851NW (A330-200) right now over the Atlantic now and Gogo works great with my monthly pass...no interruptions so far.
Also, many of the 76Zs (the high-density 767-300ERs used for JFK-LAX transcons, and internationals) should have Gogo now as well. These are:
N180DN
N181DN
N187DN - N199DN
The ex-Gulf 76Zs should also have them though I can't confirm:
N1501P
N152DL - N156DL
N394DL

I have been making good use of the 24 hour passes and given the reports here, I wonder what to do with my next trip.
In 9 days, I will be going ATL-AMS on a 763. However, I would not want to use my 24 hour pass on OKC-ATL unless I knew it could be used for ATL-AMS.
Then coming back AMS-DTW on a 333, I may have used all my passes at that point so the purchase would need to be made no later than when I am in the GVA lounge waiting for GVA-AMS (AMS connection may be too close to make it to KLM lounge).
It would seem we are stabbing in the dark here so I will stumble my way through the maze.

If your plane on a TATL flight has regular GoGo ("domestic", ground based) then it will be free while in range. On my ATL-DUB flight in April I had connectivity to well north of Quebec City, maybe 3 hours. On the return we were more southernly and didn't hit land until about NYC so less coverage.
Since I don't think any 767s have the satellite version yet, don't use your 24 hour pass. If your 763 has ground GoGo you should be able to use it for free.
Since the 24 hour passes are good for while (a year?) I'd purchase one ahead of time for the return. If your 333 has GoGo use it. If not, use the pass on a later trip.

Helpful response, however there is no way to know in advance if my 763 tomorrow (ATL-AMS) has domestic Wifi or at least I missed the thread that has such data.
I may decide at the last minute about using the 24 hour pass on my first flight (OKC-ATL) which in any event costs less than the normal charge per flight ($8 vs $9.95) and will be refunded by my Corp AMEX.

Please update it on Wiki thread for me. I need answer.
Is the 767-300ER has already installs wifi yet?
Please share some information for which aircraft has already install wifi.

Does anyone have a link to the page that Delta used to have that showed the progress of installations on it's fleet? It was pretty useful and I wonder if they are still updating it. I can't find it anywhere on Delta's site.

Not that I know of. I've been taking care of the 747s for a while but have no time for others 
The 777s shouldn't be too hard but there are a lot of A330's! Maybe we should start a Wifi thread with reports from FTers from recent trips so we could get a current status on the fleets.
