Foursquare and GoGo have announced that users of the popular location-based social networking platform will be able to earn the Mile High badge when they check in from a GoGo Wifi equipped plane. For those of you haven’t heard of GoGo, they provide wireless internet services on nearly 1000 planes across nine airlines.
To earn the badge, users will need to connect to the GoGo WiFi service and check in from a plane on their foursquare mobile app or laptop computer.
The unlock text reads:
Congrats you’ve just unlocked the Mile High badge! 500 miles per hour @ 30,000 feet and you’re still connected with Gogo. Happy travels!
Prices for the service vary from $4.95 (£3.26) for a single domestic flights in the US to $39.95 (£26.11) for unlimited 30-day access. Unfortunately, GoGo Inflight Internet is not available on any airlines in the UK, so domestic users will have to go to the US and then catch a domestic flight to unlock this badge. Good luck with that.
