Southwest to offer wi-fi on all flights by 2010

To add to its cheap fares, no-extra-fees policy, and wise-cracking flight attendants, Southwest Airlines is giving us one more reason to love the low-cost carrier. Southwest says that, by the first quarter of 2010, wi-fi internet will be available on all flights.

Southwest and Row 44 have been testing the service on four planes since February of 2009. In a press release, Southwest Airlines' Senior VP of Marketing and Revenue Management says Southwest is "very happy with both the technical performance of the system and the response of the Customers who have used it."

Southwest is also testing various price points, so there's no word yet on how much the service will cost.
