You could also change your user agent to that of a mobile device and pay $5. Dishonesty is always an (unethical) option.
The technical complexity of getting a seamless Wifi connection 30,000 feet above ground warrants its $12.00 in my opinion.

I'd be astonished if there were two HN readers on most flights.
It's called surge pricing, and it....... Works. It works really well. It preserves a scarce resource during periods of high demand for the users who get the most value out of it. You're the second person to make this comment. It sounds so petulant, like Gogo has suddenly been subjected to common carrier status.
The service suffering is a sign that they should charge even more next time. But it was certainly better than it otherwise would have been. A lower price point means more users getting a smaller piece of pie. I've been on several flights with free wifi. It's horrible.
