Southwest to invest in faster internet, bins

Southwest Airlines will spend more than $2 billion to improve the flying experience for passengers, promising faster internet service, power outlets at every seat on new planes and larger overhead bins for carry-on bags.

The Dallas carrier also said that later this month it expects to roll out a previously announced fourth fare category, designed to fill a gap between Southwest’s cheapest fares and its mid-priced ticket, which comes with perks like more frequent-flyer points.
