- Passengers will be able to browse, work, shop, stream, and use social media at no cost regardless of their wireless provider.
- Travelers without an account can enroll in Rapid Rewards before departure or during the flight to activate access.
- T-Mobile has offered complimentary inflight connectivity to its own customers since 2014, and the partnership extends that capability to Southwest flyers.
