GoGo Gate To Gate
I thought GoGo 2k (on 737-900 for example) is supposed to offer gate to gate service?
why do FAs still say on flights it won’t work until 10,000 feet and it will discontinue below 10,000 feet? (For example I used it starting at take off with no problem and I am still posting this below 10,000 feet)

thats fair but if the DL app can push a notification stating that “you are on a enhanced gate to gate internet flight etc etc etc” why can’t FAs know it or be pushed to their tablets they carry?

It doesn't always work gate to gate and sometimes if your lucky it might work for you but not for your seatmate. I think FAs also still have to enable it because often before it works I see them fiddling with the screen in the galley.

I’ve had pretty good luck with the 2KU planes working gate to gate, except during climb out and if we’re making an especially steep descent. I imagine the angle interferes. It was weird being on a 717 and MD-90 this week without 2KU!

I guess it depends on how you define "majority" (are you including regional, which have their own FA scripts?), but all domestic mainline aircraft except the 737-700 have 2KU, according to Delta.
