14 DAY TRIAL // DISH Network Corporation has announced plans to team up with Southwest Airlines to put iPads into passengers’ hands and offer live and on-demand TV, free from DISH on Wi-Fi equipped Southwest flights.
A DISH “Watch TV on the Fly” library can be found at Chicago-Midway International Airport (MDW), Denver International Airport (DEN), and Oakland International Airport (OAK).
Travelers can check out an iPad for their flight and take advantage of Southwest’s free live-TV content. When they arrive at their destination, users can return the tablet at the arrival airport’s corresponding library. If you take Southwest up on their offer, you’ll also get the chance to win an iPad.
Kevin Krone, chief marketing officer at Southwest Airlines, said, “Southwest Airlines continues to look for ways to enhance our on-board Customer experience.”
“Through our partnership with DISH, Customers have the opportunity to enjoy free live TV on Wi-Fi-enabled flights. We’re excited about this added value, giving our Customers the opportunity to ‘Watch TV on the Fly’,” added Krone.
