Is it the email that ends in "@airlinecheckins.com" ?

Over in an HK Air thread, they say this doesn't work with HK Air, despite that airline being in their list of carriers.

Have people had other similar experiences, where a carrier is listed, but this plan doesn't work on it for wifi?

I can vouch for this service, at least on JAL.
Feel stupid to have paid for a day pass earlier this month for almost a similar price to the 3 month pass...

at this price point, it’s not really a deal breaker. I suggest you bite on and if it works, you’ll be happy. If it doesn’t, then you only lost 3 or 4 Starbucks grandes or an expensive cocktail.

That's $7 per month. If it works I'll be tickled pink. I am planning a trip over Xmas to Asia and guess I'll have to make sure I fly Cathay. I got it because I fly mostly American. I usually get free wifi on American flights with Gogo (know anyone with T-Mobile? Just put their number in for 1-hr free) but seems more of their planes are switching to the non-Gogo. For $27 this will probably work out awesome.

Any idea how to get it to work on the computer instead of just the phone? Guess that's the next thing to figure out.
Make sure it’s Cathay A350, I think thats the only aircraft with WiFi. Was going to fly J HKG - East Coast USA now I’ll definitely be choosing IAD.

United domestic aircraft using the Thales system are definitely a no-go for this product - however, the chance of finding working wifi on a UA flight is a slim 5%, so you're not missing much.

Doesn't work on Qatar either. Seems the list of participating airlines at the top of the thread is not very accurate.

It's not just the thread - both Qatar and Hong Kong Airlines are on the list on their website.

Just signed up while in the SFO Polaris Lounge before my BR flight. Wil be on BR, NH & OZ this month so will report back my results. The cost is very good compared to the direct cost with all the different airlines.

I asked about Hong Kong Airlines:

Hong Kong Airlines are generally covered by our inflight WiFi service.
At the moment we can offer inflight WiFi with 3 aircraft of Hong Kong Airlines, but we work hard to further expand our service.

October 10 to January 9 is 3 months.

I have not been able to get this to work on either DL or AS (and I've had iPass in the past, so know how it should work). I emailed iPass customer support and they indicated the AirlineCheckins.com accounts do NOT have access to GoGo. Does anyone have experience otherwise? (I do note that DL and AS are notably absent from the list on their website, despite being supported by normal iPass subscriptions, so perhaps this is some sort of limited-service version.)

This is maddening. JAL is NOT on the list. AA is.

Seems the list is worthless.

Couldn’t get it to work on either of my BR flights. System kept erroring out.
