Do I need an account to use Southwest Airlines Wi-Fi?

Southwest Airlines does not document whether an account is required.

Connect to the network Southwest WiFi, then open https://www.southwestwifi.com if the sign-in page does not appear by itself.

01Connect to the 'Southwest WiFi' network.
02Tap 'Access the portal', or type SouthwestWiFi.com in a browser.
03Sign in with Rapid Rewards for free Wi-Fi; entertainment content needs no sign-up.

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.
