US. Continental Airlines is to expand the number of its Presidents Clubs offering wireless Internet access – with all 28 clubs being Wi-Fi-enabled by the end of 2004. The airline currently offers the service at its five Presidents Clubs at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport, three at Newark Liberty International, and one at Cleveland Hopkins International.
The service, powered by Cisco Aironet Wi-Fi Access Points, enables any Presidents Club member with a Wi-Fi compatible computer or client card to access the Internet from anywhere in the club. Continental will have tip sheets available to help members log in to the service.
“Customers increasingly want to stay connected, both on the ground and in the air,” said a Continental spokesperson. “Wireless Internet access in our Presidents Clubs and Verizon’s JetConnect service onboard our aircraft let travellers stay in touch throughout their travels.”
