Most airport wifi systems require you to "log in" by accepting a terms and conditions disclaimer in your browser before you continue using it. Did your phone auto-connect to the terminal wifi system perhaps? You could either: A. Turn off the wifi on your device before launching the Southwest app, therefore forcing your device to use carrier data and bypassing any such wifi block. B. Open your browser and browse to a few websites first to verify you have internet connectivity, then launch the Southwest app.

Every Southwest flight I've taken to date has been a non-stop flight. Now I'm taking a business trip in two weeks from MKE to SJC. My outbound flight is "One stop, no plane change" at LAX (Thanks Southwest, that aiport sucks!). My question is: what does this exactly mean? Do I just sit on the plane while it stops at LAX and people get on/off the plane? Do I get off too and have to re-board with a different boarding group? How exactly does this work? My return flight is "One stop with plane change" at SAN. With other airlines I would have an assigned seat, but what happens here when I change planes? Do I have another boarding pass with another boarding group? Thanks for any advice you all have!
