Wi Fi is great on a long plane flight. Glad to hear SW is adding it.
I just really hope the price is low or close to free. There is no reason to charge more for Wi Fi for a single day usage than most people pay for a month of internet service. Not all of us who would like to use Wi Fi can put the cost on our business expense accounts. I think the idea of adding a couple dollars to the ticket price and allowing free Wi Fi for anyone who wants it is a good idea. This is no more subsidizing the cost by those who do not use the service than everyone paying the same ticket price even when they do not check bags. Wi Fi for the length of a flight segment in exchange for a single drink coupon sounds acceptable.
Oh, and to sws who stated "It would be like mcdonalds charging for ketchup packets ,,,," Well, some of the McDonald's do just to cut down on waste.
