Southwest has become the latest airline to begin testing Wi-Fi connectivity on its flights, following JetBlue and Virgin America, according to Wired.

In a joint effort with airline broadband connectivity firm Row 44, Southwest so far has enabled Wi-Fi on one plane, and will have three more up and running by the beginning of March. In less exciting news, Southwest and Yahoo will work together to develop a custom home page that you can immediately click away from the moment you see the connection works.

Customers on Southwest over the next few months will receive on-board instructions if they happen to be on a Wi-Fi enabled aircraft, the company said in a statement. The service will be free for now, and will see how the test goes as the company waits for FCC approval, according to the article.
