None, zip, nada.  If you need a data connect on SouthWest, you need to
look at Mavisat, what used to be Iridium.  They went to great pains to
get their phones certified for use while on commercial flights.  It's
current speed maxes out at 10kbit/sec, and it's quite expensive.

Southwest does not offer power.  Heck they barely offer peanuts and a
soda.

Last I checked wifi was not available at Las Vegas international
airport.  We did not pickup anything during the defcon wardrive from it
either.

I would recommend charging your laptop at the airport though.

Normally the pay for this wifi hotspot page is sent over https, so even
if the wifi network is not encrypted, your data transfer is.
