Your favorite team is playing in March Madness—but you’re jetting across the country at 35,000 feet. Pure agony.

Unless, of course, you’re flying on a plane equipped with Gogo Inflight Internet. And the folks at Gogo are offering a special deal to Practical Travel Gear readers who want to keep up with the NCAA tournament.

Gogo is offering $5 off a 30-day pass on either American Airlines or Delta now through April 5, 2010. That brings the price of the pass down to $24.95 for 30 days of access on a single airline.

Just enter this promotion code to receive the discount: 27805864fbm

Other single-use and 24-hour options are also available for as low as $4.95, depending on the length of the flight.

I thought this tidbit from Gogo was very interesting. The service is fairly new. But last year, Gogo saw its usage spike by as much as 39 percent during NCAA games.

So this is a way to save while keeping up with the latest scores, tracking brackets and even gloating about your upset picks by e-mail or on Facebook.

I’ve been a fan of Gogo since it was first introduced on American. The service is speedy and dependable and makes long flights seem to go by much more quickly. Gogo is now available on 760 commercial aircraft and growing.

So basketball fans, take heart. You won’t have to postpone that trip—or fly in suspense—as long as Gogo is on board.
