The Internet, Everywhere You Need it to be.

Southwest Airlines is starting to test WiFi Internet Access on 4 of it's planes throughout March. No advance notice of which planes and which routes, but the airline promises that the 4 planes will fly all over the route map. During the test phase, the WiFi will be free and all that is required is feedback.

This is a long time coming but is welcome by me. I am a HEAVY Internet user and I appreciate the ability to connect wherever I am.

Besides the fact that Southwest Airlines is the only one "major" airline to make money consistently since 9/11/2001 without charging for luggage, etc, the addition of WiFi makes Southwest my airline of choice. I cannot wait until the WiFi access is implemented fleet-wide.

    I think this is great. I'm wondering if it is a free service as I just read that a European airline is thinking of installing pay toilets on their planes at a 'wee' fee of $1.40!

    Peg,
    So from everything I've been able to read about Southwest's WiFi, it will indeed be a pay service. A little disappointing but I'd rather pay for WiFi than to check my luggage.
    Regards,
