Wi Fi Workarounds
The Boingo network gives you 15 minutes of free internet for every 15 seconds of ads you watch but for some reason this doesn't work with a laptop - the only choices with boingo for a laptop all required some payment (by the hour, by the day, etc.) If a laptop's all you've got maybe try spoofing your browser's identity to pretend you're an iPhone? (MobileSafari is what it might be looking for.) Maybe any mobile browser works.

Use Wi-Fi on Select American Flights to/from JFK
Today is the day that at least some cross-country business travelers find the holy grail of business travel: in-flight wireless broadband.
American Airlines is the first domestic carrier to offer Wi-Fi Internet access to passengers. The Connexion by Boeing service was available on some overseas flights for a while, before it died in August 2006 after the program spent $1 billion over six years.
The difference: Boeing used a satellite backhaul and had heavy equipment. Heavy on a plane is bad (though that's only part of the reason they're charging you extra for your suitcase). The new gogo service - which will be on all of American's 767-200 planes traveling from New York (JFK airport) to Los Angeles and eventually some flights in and out of San Francisco and Miami as well - is lighter and connects to a series of air-to-ground terrestrial towers using a version of EVDO Rev A technology. gogo is run by Aircell. If it works, maybe it'll be on all flights someday.
American isn't alone in using gogo; Virgin American is also working with the provider to put Wi-Fi on all its jets for a future launch this year. No pricing or other details are yet available. Some Virgin flights already have access points installed, but they're only used by the flight crew.
JetBlue is also trialling an air-to-ground network on a single plane at the moment, called BetaBlue. Any lucky passenger who finds themselves on BetaBlue can try the Wi-Fi. The downside is that it doesn't offer full Web access yet; it's limited to use of Yahoo email and instant messages on laptops, and some services for Blackberrys.
Today's initial run is going to cost passengers nothing to try, but after the official launch in a couple of weeks the price will be $12.95 for flights over three hours long or $9.95 for under three hours. Passengers can use it for unfiltered Web surfing and email, but not VoIP, which probably wouldn't work well anyway.
Users of the iPass hotspot roaming service don't have to pay extra. iPass has a deal in place with gogo so those with iPassConnect Mobile accounts won't have to pay extra.
New York JFK Airport Wi-fi & Internet access at this airport
Terminal 6 (JetBlue Terminal), JetBlue provides free WiFi nearly terminal-wide with pretty regular up-time. Several publicly available power outlets line the top of each of the large circular seating areas in the center of the two "pods" at either end of the terminal. There are also a few scattered outlets along the seats on the ramps leading to the pods., WiFi is also available in the temporary terminal being used until the construction at Terminal 5 is complete.
Terminal 4 main departure gate area, no wifi that I could find and, as I came through the metal detector area, I lost my T-Mobile signal leaving only Cingular. Unfortunately for me that means no data as Orange doesn't appear to work across the Cingular network nor does my T-Mobile 3G card. Reduced to texting I found it hard to believe that this brand, spanking new terminal building is so poorly served for connectivity. Take my advice, stay in the main lounge area until the last minute.
BA terminal 7 (i think) no wireless that I could find.
