FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American
Airlines knows why it's called "business" travel. Business owners
and entrepreneurs take to the skies not just to enjoy the view, but
to seal the deal. That's why American offers services and programs
to help business travelers make the most of their travel time and
stay productive even while away from the office. The Lounge
Experience With 44 locations worldwide, American's Admirals Club(R)
lounges provide a quiet oasis and quality business environment
where travelers can work, get a beverage, or grab a bite to eat
before, after or between flights. Amenities, which vary by
location, include multi-functional business centers with work
stations, Lenovo personal computers with free high-speed Internet
access, PC data ports, telephones, printers, copiers, and fax
services. Power outlets are often accessible and plentiful, making
it easy for guests to be productive or recharge electronics.
Conference rooms also can be rented at many locations. American
offers complimentary Wi-Fi access in domestic lounges for Admirals
Club members and visitors using one-day passes to access the
Admirals Club facilities; high-speed Wi-Fi access is available
through a subscription to T-Mobile for all other visitors. One-day
passes are available for just $50, and annual memberships range
from $350-$500. Find out more at http://www.aa.com/admiralsclub.
Wi-Fi in the Sky American Airlines knows that broadband
connectivity is important to business customers and others who want
real-time, in-flight broadband communications. So, when it's time
to leave the airport and take to the skies, you won't miss a beat
-- or a deal -- with in-flight Internet access now available on
select cross-country flights. American recently became the first
U.S. airline to feature full in-flight Internet service via
Gogo(R), turning flights into Wi-Fi hotspots. Gogo is available in
all cabins for a fee of $12.95 per flight on the airline's fleet of
Boeing 767-200 aircraft, which are used on nonstop flights between
New York and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami. Gogo is being
tested for three to six months, and if successful, could be
extended to additional aircraft and routes. At 10,000 feet,
passengers access the service by simply turning on their own
Wi-Fi-enabled devices, selecting the Gogo (http://www.aa.com/gogo)
wireless network and opening their browsers, where they are
directed to the Gogo portal to sign up for service. The process is
easy and fast, enabling users to surf the Internet, check e-mail,
send instant messages, access corporate VPNs, and more.
