Several credit cards provide free access to inflight WiFi.
Gogo provides Wi-Fi services on many airplanes, including most flights on Delta and Alaska, and some flights on American and United. A few credit cards will give you free passes every year. Gogo website.</li>
Your passes are added to a GoGo account. Since you can't use more than one pass from the same account on the same flight, if you want family members or other travelling companions to be able to access your passes, set up different accounts for different cards.
For many of these cards, your GoGo passes won't expire until one year after you add them to your account. So, you can extend their expiration by waiting until shortly before you need to use them, or activate them just before the end of the year.
