No More Powering Down– Southwest Airlines became the only airline to offer gate to gate wifi on most of it’s fleet.

You can now use small portable electronic devices (smartphones, tablets & e-readers) in airplane mode during your full day of flying.

Southwest’s satellite-based Wifi costs $8 a day per device which gives you uninterrupted access to free live and on-demand TV compliments of DISH, even during stops and connections.

By accessing the Wifi hotspot you get:

• Free live and on-demand television compliments of DISH- 13 live channels and up to 75 episodes from popular TV series
• E-mail, social networks, browsing and VPN networks
• Some high bandwidth apps & sites are blocked like Netflix, HBO Go & VoIP
• Movies are $5 per device- over 25 current & classic
