Things I Wish I Had: Instant GoGo Login On Multiple Devices

I’m a huge fan of GoGo WiFi, and have offered many free GoGo WiFi passes before to readers. I love being connected up in the sky, and can not only get work done on the blog, but also serf the net to pass the time.

I’m a connected person. I admit it. I have my MacBook Air, my iPad, and now, my new iPhone 6 Plus. Yeah, I’m an Apple geek – say it. I love being able to see multiple things on different devices, and sometimes things are easier to access on my iPhone, while I work on my laptop.

So…that leads me to a huge gripe I have with GoGo. GoGo only allows you to sign-in to one device at a time, for security reasons (so multiple people don’t use the same ID), and so it limits usage on the plane (if everyone had 3 devices going at the same time, it would be slow and unusable). But, I like to use multiple devices.

I wish I could sign into all 3 of my devices at the same time, and that I didn’t have to enter my login information each time.

Yes, I know; this is a first world problem. Sure, it would be nice if my login information was known on each device and it remember the network, but I should probably just be glad I can actually answer email at 30,000 feet up. 🙂

That said, if I was dreaming, and if I had impact on the technology behind onboard WiFi, I’d certainly look into these changes.

What do you think? Am I overreacting, or is this an issue many of you have experienced?

In the spirit of giving away free wifi, I have a one-session GoGo pass to giveaway. This one is easy; follow me on Twitter, and I’ll select one winner tomorrow before noon and notify them by Twitter direct messaging.
