In-flight WiFi can easily help me to pass the time on flights, but the cost ($16-20 total on connecting flights) is simply more than I'm willing to pay.
I already carry with me a magazine, a tablet with unwatched TV shows, and a few DVDs, so the incremental value of WiFi is not worth it when I can view entertainment that I've already paid for.
I'd probably be willing to drop $2 to be able to check & respond to email for an hour or so, but AFAIK no in-flight WiFi provider offers such an option.
