WiFi access denied.

Not sure if this is related or not, but I also had trouble logging into my account on the past few flights. I'm not A-list preferrred, but if the login process is the same to provide the authentification then I also have had an error where using the airborne wifi I couldn't access my account.

I could browse other parts of the Southwest.com website, but not the account information or making bookings.

Thanks for your suggestion, but the issue that I am encountering is using the wifi to be able to send emails. It is an issue that has surfaced a few months ago and specifically affects "A" list preferred users who should be able to access the internet at no charge.

Yes, the acct feature has been broken for many months.  Don’t plan on booking or changing any flights while flying...

i did get one of 4 flights yesterday to connect by ‘tricking’ the system ... A list preferred. ...try this 

while on the ground / connecting flights, from a non SWA url... / hotspot use the ‘get-connected’ url to enter your ‘free- connect-login’ (as you would do during flight).  Until SWA IT locks us out of this fix.   ....   I spend much of my SWA ‘online time’ trying to get their stuff to work.  Just as silly as the $8 pay-for-internet not being able to capture the same payment info as booking a $500 ticket....

The same happened to me yesterday also from Albuquerque to Dallas.
