Can I use my electronic device during my Southwest Airlines flight?

Yes, Southwest Airlines allows passengers to use their personal electronic devices during most parts of the flight. However, there are some restrictions that passengers need to be aware of to ensure the safety and comfort of all onboard.

During the flight, passengers can use their portable electronic devices (PEDs) in airplane mode, such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and music players, at any time, including takeoff and landing. However, larger devices such as laptops, which can obstruct the view of the passengers during an emergency, must be stowed away during takeoff and landing.

In addition, Southwest Airlines offers its own in-flight entertainment system, which can be accessed through personal electronic devices. The airline's onboard Wi-Fi system also allows passengers to browse the internet, check emails, and stream videos for a fee.

It is important to note that the use of cellular network services, including voice calls and messaging, is strictly prohibited during the flight, regardless of the airplane mode.
