Boingo Connects with Connexion.

Boingo Wireless subscribers can roam to Connexion by Boeing: The aggregator has hooked up with the in-flight broadband provider, offering a free connection during a flight for those new subscribers who commit to three months of service. This is worth up to $30 on the longest flight.

Boingo doesn't say what the rate for regular service will be, but because it's not mentioned in the release or on their site, it's likely that they're charging rack rate (which varies based on flight duration) and just allowing you a simple single logon, single bill option. Update: They'll take $1 off the Connexion rate if you're a Boingo subscriber.

Boingo just changed its subscriber deal, too: they used to offer the first month free; now it's the second month free. Which is a clever twist.
