How much does Southwest Airlines Wi-Fi cost?

Southwest Airlines Wi-Fi cost: prices and plans (2026)

Southwest's Wi-Fi page publishes no price at all. It says only that Rapid Rewards members get free Wi-Fi courtesy of T-Mobile, where available.

We would rather say that than print a number we cannot stand behind.

No public rate card. Southwest Airlines prices this on board.

You may not have to pay at all — see who flies free below.

Southwest reserves the right to block high-bandwidth applications, websites and video conferencing.
Free movies, TV and live TV are not available on every Wi-Fi-enabled flight because of licensing.
Wi-Fi is only on "designated" aircraft — not the whole fleet.

What we could not confirm:

Any non-member price. Southwest has historically charged per device per day, but no figure appears on the current page, so none is recorded here.
Which satellite provider serves a given aircraft — the page does not say.
Whether a free messaging tier exists for non-members.

Airlines change these terms without notice. Treat this as a strong prior, not a guarantee.
