No way to tell for sure, but I can only assume that he had actually hijacked somebody else's connection and the other person's device stopped working for them. I sure wasn't going to stand up and ask the plane if anybody had had their internet plan hacked...

Buy a plan then clone the mac of that device, white hat it. Might have killed a bit of time (unless you needed sleep) :)

That's fun, but why not just buy a plan for one device, and then start a wifi hotspot on that device to share the connection?

That’s not how it works, but probably made someones browsing experience worse.
