Flexinets seems to sell ipass wifi:

Does anyone have any experience? Any trouble using? I am looking to use on Swiss in particular.

Live from VS24 (Dreamliner), the iPass app detected the network but let me know I would have to connect in the browser, and opened that up for me.
Using the login from the welcome email was successful. I have no idea what "package" I get though as the only options besides signing in with iPass or Boingo were pay-per-byte packages like 10Mb for £2.99, etc.
Edit: as follow up, I was connected the entire flight without limitation and I surely used more data than most of the packages available, so it seems "unlimited", within reason.

Anyone used this in a hotel setting? It looks like Marriott is part of their network, and their wi-fi is rather expensive. This seems like a better option since we booked third-party for the reservation.
Also, is the three-device limit for simultaneous connections at any one time, or is it that only three devices can be associated with the account in any one month and the devices can't be swapped mid-month?

There is a Marriot at my corner and my iPad logged onto their network with iPass. I was eating in the lobby restaurant and don't really know whether it was open access, whether I got full network speed, or throttled access. I did a little surfing while waiting for a friend.

Worked on AA international (Panasonic), though the entire wifi system stopped working shortly after take off. I'm pretty sure that's not specific to the iPass service.
Did not work on AA transcon that was provided by ViaSat.
Worked on BA as well.
