In the US, it’s free on Delta for SkyMiles members, which is in turn free to join. It’s also free for everyone on JSX with no strings, and they actually are the first airline I know of to use StarLink.
Additionally it’s free on most US airlines for T-Mobile customers, but only on devices that actually have T-Mobile SIMs (so not most laptops).
- master-lincoln 2y agoThe question was if it's costly to provide, not how much customers have to pay
- Someone1234 2y agoThis isn't important; but Delta's "free with SkyMiles" offering is for domestic US travel. For international travel they're still charging $8/hour. Supposedly they may expand the free offering to some flights to Europe though but YMMV.

- ziml77 2y agoI have to imagine this comes down to how they provide the Internet connection. Over land they can use cell towers. Over sea they're forced to use satellites.
- joezydeco 2y agoOn AA, the "free one hour for TMO subscribers" through their app doesn't actually check to see if you're using a TMO SIM. It only checks the phone number against their customer list. After burning up the first free hour I switch to my wife's number, then my kids, etc. It never complains.
- denysvitali 2y agoYou can literally bump the last digit of any T-Mobile number (:
- joezydeco 2y agoYeah that should work...for a while. Eventually numbers get ported out and the space fragments. Area codes don't mean much anymore.
- ydant 2y agoRe: T-Mobile - On United you can just set your laptop user agent to a mobile one and sign on with your phone number. Works fine for both the short period and full flight options.
