Well you can't have a real amazon.com cert ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

If you use a random domain sure it works, but it's also fishy. I guess most people won't notice...

Make the domain login-to-[airline]-wifi.com, get a real cert, and return a form with <h1>Login with Facebook</h1> and you won't ring alarm bells for the average user
