The access will cost $9.95 on flights of three hours or less and $12.95 on flights of more than three hours.

"Beginning this fall, our passengers will have the ability to stay connected when they travel with us throughout the continental United States," said Richard Anderson, Delta's chief executive officer.

Delta expects Wi-Fi to be available on all its domestic mainline planes by the summer of 2009.
