Unlock the Mile High Badge on Foursquare

Foursquare has become a part of my daily routine. I enjoy checking into venues, learning from others' experiences, receiving special offers and sharing my own tips. It is also a way for me to keep up with colleagues while traveling.

Today on my Delta flight home to Atlanta, I finally uncovered the secret to unlocking the GogoInflight Internet Mile High Badge on Foursquare. Here's how:

1. Login your Foursquare account.

2. Just to be safe, add GogoInflight as your friend at http://foursquare.com/gogoinflight.

3. When you are above 10,000 feet, you will have to use the GogoInfight Wifi and this has a small fee, unless you have a promo code or offer.

4. Once you have access, search for Foursquare.com in the Google search box on the Gogo Inflight home page. I used my laptop to do this, not my smartphone.

4. In the search results, choose the other devices option under Foursquare.com which is located at http://m.foursquare.com.

5. Give a shout out to GogoInfight Wireless and you will earn your badge.

You could also check in on your mobile phone this way:

1- Log in to GoGo
2 - Open FourSquare App (your city will TYPICALLY be a hub of the airline you are flying. I've been in SLC, ATL, JFK & MSP before)
3 - Check into one of the "On a Plane" options that will show up
4 - Badge Unlocked. You don't even have to share on Twitter or Facbook.

Hi Chris, thank you for sharing another way to unlock the Gogo Mile High badge on Foursquare.
What did you shout out ?
Did you shout out "GogoInfight Wireless" ?
Thank you and have a nice flight Chris.

Foursqure and Whrrl are two avenues I have yet to try, but after reading so much about them on various blogs, I am going to have to get engaged and try it out!

Hi Jenny,
I’m going to fly with Delta from LA to Detroit next week, how can I earn the Gogo Mile High badge after I have access with GogoInfight Wifi ?
Do I need just to shout out ?
What word do I need to shout out ?
Thank you very much for the answer.

Kristen, glad you are going to try something new. Hope you find it to be beneficial.

Meliana, you should follow my exact instructions, since that's how I unlocked the badge. Just doing the shout out didn't work for me before, so please follow the steps listed in the post. Good luck!

This was helpful. I tried checking in using my foursquare for BlackBerry app in flight, but it did not unlock the badge. Your instructions worked though. So thanks!
