Southwest Rapid Rewards Members Will Get Free Wi-Fi
Southwest Airlines will soon offer free unlimited WiFi for all Rapid Rewards® Members.
The new benefit will launch on Oct. 24, 2025 thanks to a collaboration between Southwest and T-Mobile, at no extra cost for members.
The news comes as Southwest continues to unbundle its fares. Early next year, the airline will introduce assigned seats for the first time, after already implemented checked bag fees and more restrictive fare categories.
Southwest will implement free WiFi on all 800 aircraft. All Southwest Rapid Rewards customers, regardless of their wireless provider, will be able to access free WiFi for the duration of their flight.
“We are focused on making sure our Customers have a great experience from the time they book a flight to the time they reach their destination,” said Tony Roach, Executive Vice President, Chief Customer & Brand Officer at Southwest Airlines. “We’re pleased to partner with T-Mobile to bring free WiFi to all Rapid Rewards Members. This is part of our ongoing commitment to elevate the cabin experience, with free WiFi being just one of the many enhancements Customers will see in the months ahead.”
“We’re teaming up with Southwest to make staying connected in the air easier for millions of travelers,” said Mike Katz, President of Marketing, Strategy and Products at T-Mobile. “We’re excited for Rapid Rewards Members to experience free in-flight WiFi from takeoff to landing – no strings, no surprises. It’s just one more way we’re helping make travel a little smoother.”
Customers can sign up for a free Rapid Rewards account prior to their flight or while inflight to receive free WiFi.
