And the $5 wifi is actually usable. Usually pre-Covid if I paid the $29.95 for the no-go wifi it would take half the flight just to send an email.
That being said isn’t there some connection between Gogo and Viasat? I thought I saw footprints leading to a gogo site on one of the web redirects when connecting. Despite that, it actually worked pretty good.

Identify WiFi before flight?
Is anyone aware of a way to identify the provider before takeoff so you can pre purchase the cheaper prepaid gogo via cellular? My theory is the WiFi logo with/without lightning.
(Maybe connecting to the network before takeoff but I didn’t think of that on my most recent flight - I had to buy 30 minutes then a discounted pass via my VPN to save… very little.)

Thanks - I guess next time I just have to test it before takeoff if possible when I'm on a 757.

Folks, we have free WiFi on my flight. I flew on Delta on this last Monday. You can used free iMessage and WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, too. Free of charge.
And also, KLM have free WiFi, too. You can used free WhatsApp or iMessage, too. I flew on KLM. Only 1 hour.

As you enter the plane, look to the decals (usually to the right) on the fuselage. If Viasat is onboard, one will read, "Delta Wi-Fi Faster Streaming Awaits" accompanied by the Viasat logo. This article has a picture of it. https://thepointsguy.com/news/delta-...internet-test/

Flying LAX-SLC-AMS next week. In the Before Times one could buy a "Global Day Pass" -- good on DOM and INTL flights, and it was cheaper if you bought it in advance.
Now, when I sign on to the Gogo website the only "Global" option I see is a monthly pass. My return is a couple weeks after the outbound so I guess I could buy and cancel the monthly pass -- is that the best option these days? The overwater legs are both 330-900neo so that should be GoGo, the domestic legs are 321 outbound and 737-900ER return so that could be either.
I hate being a newbie again after 2+ years on the bench

In-Flight Wi-Fi May Not Be Available On Your Airbus 339 Flight
So I guess I will hold off buying anything until on the plane...
