Gogo inflight WiFi is handy but sometimes I simply want to check my email or send a few texts while I am up in the air. Many domestic flights offer cheap $5 passes for an hour of WiFi but international flights are often much more expensive.

The airplane, affectionately known as “The Jimmy Ray” (Reg: N321GG, MSN 26455), departed from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in order to test out the company’s latest upgrade to their 2Ku system.
On Delta flights equipped with WiFi there is a simple hack to allow you access to send a texts, check your email and even browse the web for free. I have tried this trick on the past few domestic and international flights over the summer and it has worked every single time. I figured when I did it in June it would be fixed by now but it is still free to use.
How to Get Free Gogo Inflight WiFi
Each time you “hack” the WiFi you will have access to Gogo Inflight for around 15 minutes from my experience. I didn’t officially time this so it could be closer to 10-15 minutes. This is probably against some terms of service so do it at your own risk.
Delta has a service called Delta Studio that allows you to watch movies and shows on your mobile devices, tablets, and laptop for free. There are some paid premium movies offered but those are only free to certain passengers. In order to use Delta Studio and watch free movies you need to download the Gogo app. Since you probably didn’t download this before you left they allow you to download it inflight.
This is where you take advantage of the free WiFi offered to download the app and start using the inflight WiFi for free.
Step 1

Connect to Gogo Inflight WiFi. Once connected open your browser and head over to Gogo Inflight Delta homepage (it should bring you there by default when you open your browser). I am not sure if this works on other airlines but it is confirmed on Delta.

Click on “Watch for Free” in the Delta Studio to watch free movies. This service is available without buying Gogo WiFi. It is really useful on flights without inflight entertainment on seat-backs.
More importantly, it is also serves as a gateway to free WiFi.
Select one of the free movies in the studio to watch if you are seated in economy. The first page will likely be the premium movies.
Choose your movie and select “Watch Now.”
Step 3
Type in the captcha code and you will be asked if you have the Gogo app or need to download the app.
Even if you have the app select the option to “Download on the App Store.”
By selecting “Download on the App Store” you will be taken to the App Store from Safari.
Step 4
Leave the App Store once Gogo takes you there.
You are now connected to Gogo Inflight WiFi and can browse freely and text away on iMessage, WhatsApp, and use the WiFi however you want.
It will last 10-15 minutes and then it will redirect you to Gogo’s pricing page to select a paid package.
Step 5
Repeat this process as many times as you need. I did it for the entire duration of my flight and had no problems with it.
It works on any Delta flight equipped with Gogo WiFi. This includes international flights which I tested on the a return flight from Milan in early September.
Who knows how long this will be available but it is a simple little hack and it has lasted all summer.

November 8, 2011I’m headed back to Atlanta from Amsterdam today. The flight time is just over 9 hours. I did my usual downloads from my TiVo DVR the night before so that I would have some shows to watch and of course I have my MacBook Pro so that I can get some writing done. The last thing I expected on this Delta flight was to have WiFi internet all the way home! Sure I get my hopes up each time I board an international flight by looking for the familiar WiFi stickers found on 99% of all Delta domestic flights and like always there were no stickers present on this flight. However, once we got up to 10,000 feet I noticed that my phone was asking me to login to my corporate IPASS account (a roaming partner of Gogo). I just figured someone on the plane was faking a Gogo hotspot. However, it worked! I was blown away because I figured I wouldn’t see this until at least 2016. I asked the flight attendant just to make sure and she confirmed that “some” planes have it now and that we were “lucky” today. Lucky indeed!
So what does it cost to enjoy this international benefit? Since I have a corporate plan from work that covers Gogo InFlight WiFi I didn’t even think that about a cost difference at first, but as I started writing this I figured my readers would want to know. I went back to the regular logon page and the prices are high indeed. $19.95 for one hour and $39.95 for the whole flight. While I appreciate this being a work perk, I gotta say that I would gladly pay $39.95 for WiFi on this 9 hour flight. The amount of stuff that I can get done (including this blog post) is worth it to me. The next question is how fast is it? Gogo inlfight wifi in the states uses a celluar system (plane to ground) and from I can see it’s based on 3G technology. When it first came out the speeds were decent, but lately they have been slow to almost unusable. Still slow is better than nothing, so I use it all the time.
Since connecting to the ground over the ocean is not feasible, any plane offering international service requires satellite connections instead. One of the first thing I did was run 4 consecutive speed tests to get an average speed and while it’s not screaming fast, it’s faster than the domestic service. I’ll take it!

The Bottom Line
I remember wishing for WiFi on long haul flights for years. It almost brings a tear to my eyes to see it finally making its way into my life and I commend Delta for making these investments to make air travel a little less painful.
