Score a Southwest Companion Pass With Just One Round-trip Flight — but You'll Have to Book Soon
26.03.2024 - 15:17 / travelandleisure.com / Jonathan Clarkson / Airlines
Grab a friend and get ready to hit the skies by scoring one of Southwest Airlines’ limited-time Companion Passes, available by flying just one roundtrip flight.
The promotional passes, which allow travelers to designate one person to fly with them practically for free, are available to members of Southwest’s Rapid Rewards program who register for the promotion online and purchase one qualifying Southwest revenue flight by 11:59 p.m. CT on March 27, according to the airline. To qualify, travelers must book either a roundtrip flight or two one-way flights and must take off by May 22.
Customers who score a companion pass with the promotion can then designate a companion to travel with them from Aug. 5 through Oct. 2. Travelers can choose to change their designated companion up to three times with the promotional Companion Pass.
“We know the Companion Pass is a favorite perk of our Rapid Rewards program, and we're thrilled to bring back this promotion for a limited time so that Customers can experience why this popular benefit is so meaningful," Jonathan Clarkson, vice president of marketing at Southwest, said in a statement. «We invite our Customers to take advantage of this offer because traveling with your favorite Companion supports sharing of adventures and creating memories that can last a lifetime.»
The Companion Pass allows holders to designate one companion to fly with them nearly for free, simply paying taxes and fees for each flight, which start at $5.60 each way. Typically, travelers can earn a Companion Pass by either flying 100 qualifying one-way flights or earning 135,000 qualifying points in a calendar year (which they can do by using a qualifying credit card, staying at partner hotels, and more).
The latest Companion Pass promotion comes on the heels of Southwest’s plans to start red-eye flights sometime in the next two years. It also follows the airline’s decision to redesign its cabins for 2025 featuring (controversial) slimmer new seats, adjustable headrests, and larger under-seat space.
