Hard time connecting on airplane - MacBook Pro

I occasionally have problems connecting with the inflight wifi on the airplane. Is there anything I can do to reset any settings so that doesn't happen the next time I'm on a plane? I'm using Ventura.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0

There are two sets of things to do.


--------

on Public networks, you typically need to get a login page and enter some information about yourself before you get access. If you enter the symbolic name or any web-site names, DNS (internet name-to-number lookup) may be blocked, and access is blocked because you did not use the login page. You are not allowed to look up the web-site names because you are not authorized.


so launch a Browser and enter:


1.1.1.1

in the search bar and press return.

If you get the [intercepted] public network login page, you are on your way to successful connection.


The address is owned by CloudFlare, which is not part of the solution, they just have the easiest-to-remember numeric IP address that is answered with their splash page.


--------

The other thing is that you may need do is to start over with default network settings. You do that by creating a NEW, NAMED Location (DON'T use the default, that will not allow you to start over!):
