Southwest Airlines is offering free in‑flight Wi‑Fi to all Rapid Rewards members on Wi‑Fi‑equipped flights through August 14, 2025. Normally a perk reserved for A‑List Preferred and Choice Extra customers, this limited‑time promotion allows anyone in the Rapid Rewards program—free to join—to enjoy browsing and streaming at no cost (standard daily Wi‑Fi usually runs about $8 per device). Travelers can sign up even once onboard to take advantage of the deal, which also serves as a pilot test for possibly making free Wi‑Fi a permanent offering amid broader enhancements like faster Viasat internet, assigned seating starting in 2026, and updated baggage policies.
