Continental Airlines is offering free wireless Internet access in its U.S. Presidents Club locations, the airline announced Monday. Continental's Presidents Clubs are lounges in which members can use services such as telephones, fax machines, conference rooms and photocopiers. Visitors with 802.11b-based Wi-Fi gear can use the wireless Internet network. There are 29 locations in the United States. Analysts have said wireless Internet service will become more prevalent in airports because of the high number of business travelers passing through them.

The service is not available in its Chicago club. The airline will also the service available for free in its international clubs by the end of the year.
