AA has changed the login page for both Gogo planes and Viasat planes to aainflight.com. I was on two 737-800s recently that had Viasat wifi, and no luck as a T-Mobile user. It's good to know that a provision to log in with a T-Mobile account still exists on the Gogo-enabled planes.
Interestingly enough, the reason AA has a bunch of Viasat planes is because they had a "shiny new thing" clause in their contract with Gogo that let them break the contract when the faster Viasat technology came along.

Headed back home on 387 in a 319. Let’s hope it’s gogo.
yep.
one caveat — only 1 hour free is given. WHY just not offer the full flight.

It's unlimited if you have the $10 PLUS add on with Tmobile (I do). It works on Gogo flights, which I thought at this point was only regional flights and not mainline?
Agree that it would be good if Tmobile would get a deal with Viasat. Gogo is becoming less useful since AA is dropping them, and it never worked on UA anyway due to their customized portal.
