Google Gives Travelers Free WiFi for the Holidays

Holiday travelers may have extra reason to celebrate this year—free WiFi connections for their laptops and smart-phones, thanks to Google.

Google is teaming up with Virgin American airlines and a number of wireless internet providers to give travelers free internet access in 47 airports across the country, and onboard Virgin American flights.

The service starts today, November 10, and runs through January 15, 2010. The airports are mainly smaller airports and don’t include many of the “hubs” that travelers spend hours in during layovers (think Chicago, Denver or Phoenix).

However, it includes a number of vacation hotspots, like Orlando, San Diego, and Las Vegas. If you’re traveling over the next two months, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself in a participating airport. (See the full list and more info online at freeholidaywifi.com.)

Win Prizes

Google is also holding a photo contest: take a photo of yourself using free WiFi in any participating airport on Virgin American flight to win (currently undisclosed) prizes.

Give Back

And because the holidays are all about giving, Google is encouraging donations to participating non-profit organizations. You can give online via Google Checkout, and Google will match up to $250,000. (More info on the Give Back program here: www.freeholidaywifi.com/give-back)
