Southwest Is The First Domestic Airline To Enable Wifi For Entire Flights

ByEdward Pizzarello

From Southwest’s website:

Domestic Airline

It doesn’t take long to get up to 10,000 feet, so it’s not like Southwest is millions of miles ahead of Gogo.  But, since they have ubiquitous satellite Wifi on planes (unlike UA or AA’s and DL’s ground-based wifi) they get to trumpet this achievement a few steps ahead of at least United Airlines.

And, setting aside my own preference to fly carriers other than Southwest, $8 per day for wifi is pretty darn reasonable considering the competition.  $5 movies on your devices isn’t quite as good a deal since you can usually rent a movie on iTunes for less than that, but it’s at least competitive with other offerings and available for last-minute decisions.

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
