Really what you should be doing is setting the SSID to "$2 in flight WiFi!" and selling access.
You'll make tens of ... dollars every flight.

And get arrested to boot!

Ok Lol but they got arrested for stealing others people data not for making a wifi on the flight. That's different.
>That's different.
Is it though? It genuinely looks like you might get caught doing this, and I'm sure you are at least breaking airline policy, even if you're not charging money; not to mention if you charge.
Airlines throttle per device, unfortunately.
These travel routers have an option to impersonate the device you are using to get round this.
The throttling is "per device", not "per type of device". If you connect 1 travel router and use it to share internet with >1 user, those users are sharing the capped capacity the plane gives to "one connected device".
