Southwest is excited to partner with Discovery for the eighth consecutive year to bring the LUV of sharks to the skies for Shark Week 2022!

 

We’re chomping at the bit for Shark Week to begin, and we couldn’t possibly wait until July 24 for new episodes of heart-racing shark content! Starting July 1, Customers can sink their teeth into an exclusive pre-premiere episode of Shark Week for free on Southwest’s Inflight Entertainment Portal.

 

The exclusive episode, “Dawn of the Monster Mako,” follows a team of marine biologists as they track the top speed of the fastest shark in the ocean, the Mako, and follow the species’ hunting strategy.

 

In addition to watching the never-before-seen episode, Customers can brush up on their shark knowledge before Shark Week officially kicks off on July 24. Customers can watch three previously-aired Shark Week episodes while onboard: The Spawn of El Diablo, Extinct or Alive: Land of the Lost Sharks, and Air Jaws: Ultimate Breach Off.

I have exactly the same problem. Did anyone get a suggestion?
