Southwest Airlines
Starlink Wi-Fi
Southwest offers Starlink on designated Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft. Its official help page explains how to identify a Starlink-equipped flight in the Southwest app; an exact current installation total is not verified here.
What the evidence covers
The Southwest app may show “WiFi Powered by Starlink” for an assigned flight. Last-minute aircraft changes can alter availability. An airline installation target is not a completed installation count.
Next milestone
Check the airline app as departure approaches. We have not connected Southwest flight-to-aircraft data.
Evidence reviewed 2026-10-14. A dated announcement does not confirm the aircraft assigned to your flight.
Aircraft registrations
A registration identifies an aircraft, not a flight number. Installation evidence does not guarantee the current flight assignment or working Wi-Fi. This is our sourced list, not a complete airline fleet inventory.
Service or fleet-level evidence is available, but no official aircraft registrations have been verified here yet. A published installation count does not identify the tail numbers.
Third-party registration reports — verification pending (1)
These are research leads. They are not included in the officially identified registrations above, and another website’s “verified” label is not our own verification.

Flight directory
Flight-to-aircraft assignments for this airline have not been connected yet. Official rollout information is available below; no individual flight is confirmed by that alone.
Starlink by aircraft type
A completed subfleet policy applies to the stated airline and aircraft type. Equipment swaps, leased aircraft and service outages can still change the passenger experience.
