What is a promotion code?

A promotion code is your key to redeeming discounts, special Orbitz offers and rewards. To redeem, enter your promotion code below, then look for hotels marked with the icon. We'll apply the discount to the total cost when you pay. Promotion codes can only be used once with each booking, and they're good only up to the total amount of your booking (including service fee and taxes) or promotion code amount, whichever is less.

Expand search options (Hotel Chain, specific hotel name, amenities, star rating, promotion code, etc.)

Sorry, we cannot perform that search at this time. Either the pick-up or drop-off location needs to be an airport.

JetBlue Brings Wi-Fi to the Sky
By JiWire Staff



Wi-Fi has beaten cellular in the race to the sky, with the launch of JetBlue's BetaBlue. This specially-equipped AirBus 320 uses a chunk of 800MHz ground-to-air spectrum to bring Yahoo and BlackBerry IM and email access to any passenger's Wi-Fi devices, including laptops, BlackBerries, and other smartphones. Before you ask, no, you can't use any other services. A special portal comes up when you connect, which is designed to maximize the limited available bandwidth and share it amongst all passengers. So don't expect to start downloading the latest Windows Updates while you're watching the movie, or stream video from your Slingbox. With Yahoo "Mail in the Sky," you can't even open attachments. However, you can send SMS text messages, and your friends can track you in the sky through Yahoo Messenger.

At least for now, Wi-Fi access on the BetaBlue plane is free of charge, just like JetBlue's satellite TV service. But there are a few catches. You have to be traveling on that particular plane, which flies between New York and San Francisco. If you have a smartphone, it must have separate Wi-Fi and cellular on/off switches. So no iPhones, although the iPod Touch is fine. And you won't find any power outlets to charge up your laptop in flight. JetBlue expects to expand the service to more flights next year. Virgin America and American Airlines have deals to access the same ground-to-air spectrum, and Virgin has power ports at every seat...
