Virgin America is planning on becoming the most up-to-date domestic airline, with a week-long beta test of its new Wi-Fi in-flight services coming up on Monday, and plans to deploy the service to all its planes by the second quarter of next year.

The company will make the in-flight test even more interesting, by streaming part of the YouTube Live event on a flight over the San Francisco Bay area.

Several airline companies have announced plans to deploy Wi-Fi services on domestic flights, so there’s a pretty big competition out there.

As Jack Blumenstein, CEO of Aircell LLC, the company providing Internet services for the airlines, said earlier this year, “the days of being cut off from the rest of the world while in the air become history.”

Customers have often complained about not having access to in-flight Internet or phone access, two critical elements when you are a business traveler.

The airline companies seized the opportunity, especially now with fuel prices constantly giving them a headache, and announced plans for Wi-Fi services.

The effect on passengers? In exchange for a pre-established fee, they will be able to Google all they like from thousands of miles away, but they also won’t be able to take a break from work either.

For the time being, the services will only be available throughout the United States territory, not on international flights, but extended services might be included in the future.
