While airplane passengers will normally have to pay $12.95 for in-flight Internet access, a special trial group of fliers will get the service gratis in a single round-trip American Airlines flight from JFK to LAX and back. American is testing the capabilities of the service and eventually expects to carry it as a regular offering — you know, one more thing to nickel and dime you on as you lose the right to check bags, receive nutrition on board, and, probably somewhere down the road, are forced to bring your own toilet paper. Supposedly, passengers today won't have any idea that they are among the lucky few to try out the service. Learning they're American's guinea pigs, then, will certainly alleviate their stress as they're stranded on the runway for an hour and a half before takeoff.
