In-flight WiFi is more and more popular. Surfing the web while flying to your favorite destination is a great way to pass the time. And U.S. Airways has just decided to offer the services starting next year. The airliner has partnered up with Aircell to offer GoGo Inflight Internet service to its domestic A321 customers. GoGo Internet will be available sometime early next year and everyone willing to pay anywhere from $5.95 to $12.95 for it will be able to go online from their smartphone or laptop.

Do you fly too much? Is it work-related or do you do it for fun? Well if you feel the need to surf the Internet while flying to your next destination you should check Aircell’s offers available for selected Virgin America, AirTran, Delta and America Airlines flights.

Aircell has announced two new Gogo plans for its customers: the Flight Pass for short trips and the 24-Hour Pass for those of you that fly across the ocean and back a lot.

The Flight Pass will cost you $5.95 for 90 minutes of in-flight WiFi connectivity while the 24-Hour Pass will cost $12.95. If you happen to fly almost daily then there’s a 30-day unlimited pass available for $49.95. I guess that at least some flight attendants will consider buying some cheap netbooks and getting this later plan for those interminable flights. After all why not surf the web while everyone else is sleeping?

All those frequent fliers out there should be happy to know that Virgin America is the first airline to offer flleetwide WiFi. The GoGo In-flight Internet service will be available in Virgin’s 100 daily flights, just as we heard last year. You will be able to keep working while flying to your next destination. Or simply connect with friends or catch up with your favorite online content while you wait for your meal.

Virgin will show you tomorrow, May 21, that it means business, in an all time first air-to-ground Skype video call with Oprah Winfrey during The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Here’s what you’ll have to pay for the GoGo service:

• $12.95 for daytime flights of over three hours,
• $9.95 for daytime flights of less than three hours,
• $5.95 on red-eye flights and
• $7.95 for handheld devices.

So who’s the next airline to follow Virgin America’s initiative?
