Over at TechFlash, John Cook reports that Alaska Airlines misspoke when representatives gave what many interpreted as an announcement that they'd be offering free wi-fi to Alaska travelers at SeaTac gates. The airline will be extending the offer to travelers in Oakland for the three-month promotion, but not here. Seriously? Seattle would be the perfect place to run that deal. This reminds us to ask why we don't already have free wi-fi available at our airport. Anyone have a compelling explanation for this pitiable situation?



No free wifi? but they have free public wifi at airports but it sure doesn't work on my PHD! Seems they want you to pay for every service at the airport. The only way around it is if you have a starbucks loyalty card then they reward you with one free hour.
