Do Southwest Airlines flights have TVs or in-flight entertainment screens?

Southwest Airlines is one of the major carriers that does not have seatback TVs or in-flight entertainment screens aboard its aircraft. Instead, they offer passengers video content accessible and playable on personal devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, using the Southwest Airlines in-flight entertainment portal.

The portal is free of charge and open to viewing such offerings as movies, television programs on demand, and more than 15 channels of live TV. To access such features, it would be advisable to download the Southwest app before boarding.

Since seatback screens are not found, Southwest still manages to make the flights engaging for the passengers by offering complimentary texting through iMessage and WhatsApp and offering $8 internet access per device during the flight for those who want to stay connected.

The portal is accessible without buying Wi-Fi, so passengers get free access to all the entertainment onboard. To learn more about the Southwest in-flight experience, visit Fly Travel Board or call +1 (844) 539-5787.
