Systems and Methods for In-Flight Connectivity

A mobile device for wireless connectivity, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device including a data store to store a plurality of data and instructions that, when executed, cause an agent of the mobile device to:
• detect an on-board connection availability for an on-board public network associated with a service set identifier (SSID) from an access point on-board a vehicle;
• identify an on-board service availability that is active for the on-board public network;
• enable a notification regarding connecting to the on-board public network based in part on the on-board connection availability and the on-board service availability that is active;
• and
• enable a connection to the on-board public network.

A machine-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a process comprising:

• detecting, at an agent on a mobile device, an on-board connection availability for an on-board public network associated with a service set identifier (SSID) from an access point on-board a vehicle;
• identifying, at the agent on the mobile device, an on-board service availability that is active for the on-board public network;
• enabling, at the mobile device, a notification regarding connecting to the on-board public network based in part on the on-board connection availability and the on-board service availability that is active;
• and
• enabling, at the mobile device, a connection to the on-board public network.
