I haven't tried that before and not sure how hotspot access work. If all the traffics goes through your phone as if they are originated from it (e.g. with the same MAC address), then I don't see how it can be blocked. Let use know how it goes.

It's possible to do this through bluetooth for example but it may require an app or jailbreak if that's iOS we are talking about.

Use laptop to acess internet thru phone as a usb modam, then share internet. Better try on ground first since its a pain to work this out in air

I think what he's trying to say is have 2 Wifi connections:
connection 1: connect to wifi from JAL
connection 2: create ad-hoc network to share
That sounds like it could be done. But really you'd have to debug that quite a bit on the ground me-thinks. or... you could just pay up for each person instead of breaking the T&C

Actually, I'm 90% certain that this would be very difficult to detect due to the way NAT works -- i.e., if you can setup your side, then you can almost certainly do it.
