As for whether TATL flights use Gogo or Viasat, all widebodies only have Gogo connections as Viasat currently doesn't have sufficient international coverage to be used on those aircraft. Therefore, only domestic aircraft are currently being enabled for Viasat and if you're curious about which version of Gogo WiFi a TATL flight will have, the list of Ku vs 2Ku aircraft is on the page I linked above.

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

Just flew 757-200 MSP/SEA. Had Gogo. Initially only offered a one day pass for something like $49.00. Once in the air you could get a 30 minute pass for $6.95 or a pass for the entire flight for about $29.95. Since Gogo is so slow and isn’t worth much more than checking email, I opted to pass. Not worth the agrivation.

Reporting back: SLC-AMS was $29 (could have been $28) for the flight. AMC-MSP was $22. These were both on 339 and it seemed snappy but I occasional problems with GoGo wanting me to sign in again.
On the outbound I asked about the "You may not have WiFi on your flight" message and was told that 4 new 339s had not yet had WiFi installed (activated?) This was a couple of weeks ago so that may have changed...

I'm flying DL316 SFO-JFK (767-300ER.) I'm confused about my wifi options -- looks like it will be gogo? But when I go to the gogo website, DL isn't listed as a participating airline for the advance day passes. Hmmm. Reading this thread, it appears some people have bought reduced cost day passes via phone after boarding -- is this likely to be an option? I'd appreciate any guidance. TIA.
