BA WiFi on iPad

I'm on my first BA flight with WiFi just now. I repeatedly tried to connect on my iPad for about two hours, always receiving an error message saying "WiFi currently not available". The weird thing is that it works without any problems on my iPhone.

Anybody had the same problem? Any solution?

I find that it is quicker to find the .air homepage then type shop.ba.com into their browser.

What is the .air website? Whatever I type redirects to shop.ba.com?

Does staff get to use Wifi? I assume it is just for the CSD's iPad for BA related things and regular staff in the air (working) would pay for it as they are working?

It goes there, then says wifi is not available. But only from the iPad - it works perfectly fine from the phone.

At present all customers and crew get one free hour, it is some kind of promotion, I expect that the SCCM will be able to access the internet in the future for free as this will be useful for our job.

On public WiFi it's airways best to try a non Https site if you need to authenticate, which can be hard to find nowadays. http://neverssl.com is my preferred choice.
