Many of the credit card offers that appear on this site are from credit card companies from which we receive financial compensation. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear). However, the credit card information that we publish has been written and evaluated by experts who know these products inside out. We only recommend products we either use ourselves or endorse. This site does not include all credit card companies or all available credit card offers that are on the market. See our advertising policy here where we list advertisers that we work with, and how we make money. You can also review our credit card rating methodology.
We may be compensated when you click on product links, such as credit cards, from one or more of our advertising partners. Terms apply to the offers below.

Southwest Airlines has announced some new perks to look forward to. All passengers will soon be eligible for free same-day standby and some passengers will get free inflight Wi-Fi.
Here are the details.
Southwest announced that all passengers, including those who purchase the least expensive Wanna Get Away fares, will soon be eligible for free same-day standby. Currently, this feature is only available to passengers who purchase Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, and Business Select Fares.
In addition to that, passengers who purchase a Business Select fare (which also comes with perks like upgraded A1-A15 boarding) will soon get complimentary inflight Wi-Fi. It currently costs $8 per device per flight, so this will be a great perk for those who enjoy Wi-Fi during their flight.
If you’d rather not spring for the highest-priced Business Select fare but would still like free Wi-Fi, consider the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Performance Business Credit Card which comes with up to 365 Wi-Fi credits each year.
These 2 new changes are coming soon, however, Southwest has yet to give a specific date.
Hot Tip:Southwest does not charge change or cancellation fees — learn more about these policies in our detailed guide.
