If you fly Southwest, you could pay more for Wi-Fi starting next week.
The Dallas-based airline currently charges $8 dollars a day for passengers to use its onboard Wi-Fi. But, starting next Tuesday it will start charging $8 dollars per flight, meaning travelers with connecting flights will pay more.
Southwest just spent over $2 billion dollars on in-flight upgrades, and that includes the addition of two Wi-Fi vendors to provide passengers with faster in-flight connections.
