Has VX been using any of these planes to fly the JFK-LAS route, or only the pure transcons?

Yes, they have been used on JFK-LAS, and even shorter routes (SFO-SEA, for example).

Any rhyme or reason to scheduling if you will be wifi or not? It's a BIG booking point for me.

The only thing that has been reported is that they are favoring longhaul flights. Since one plane per week is coming online, it won't be too long before it should be all planes.

Sorry, this was premature. There are still only 2. Watch this thread or the FAQ for the 3rd aircreaft soon.

521 is now the 3rd WiFi plane.

How can I find out whether the plane I am flying has it or not? Will calling the resrvation call center get me the info? Can they tell?

Unfortunately not. As planes get added (one per week), it will become more and more likely :-)

Any Wifi status information for flights flown is welcome (tail# or aircraft name, route, date/time). This kind of information would probably be best in a separate thread though.

This can help us identify short term trends while the whole fleet is getting fitted. I think that is the best we can do at this point.
