It depends which plane you’re on - most of them have the older Gogo wifi, in which case you should be able to connect for free as a T-Mobile subscriber, but the two newest ones have the new ViaSat wifi. When I was on the second newest one TATL a week and a half ago it wasn’t free for anyone (including T-Mobile subscribers, unlike on my outbound flight on an older A339 with Gogo). It’s possible, though, that as a domestic flight it’ll be free to all SM members if that’s the case the way it is with other ViaSat-equipped planes if I understand correctly.
