Southwest Airlines is expanding out of Cincinnati with more flights to Music City. On June 4, the airline will introduce nonstop flights to Nashville, which will be offered 5x/weekly on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) shared on X. When the new route begins, Southwest will be the only carrier to offer nonstop service, making it easier than ever for travelers to reach the beloved destination. Along with the announcement, Southwest will bring more flights from Cincinnati to Orlando, competing with Frontier and Delta. In early June, the airline will introduce two additional flights to its existing route, bringing a total of 5x/weekly service on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Southwest will fly its Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 175 seats on both routes this summer. Travelers can book these flights from Cincinnati on Southwest’s website, its mobile app, or even through the airline’s major credit card partner, Chase, by redeeming Ultimate Rewards points. By the summer, Southwest will fly to six destinations out of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. In addition to Nashville and Orlando, the airline offers nonstop service between Cincinnati and Baltimore, Chicago-Midway, Denver, and Phoenix.
Southwest Companion Pass Available After Making One Round Trip Flight
27.03.2024 - 00:51 / forbes.com
Southwest Airlines is giving travelers a chance to earn a promotional Companion Pass® after flying one round-trip flight. This pass is essentially a buy one ticket, get one ticket free, allowing two companions to travel together. However, this promotion is only available until March 27, 2024.
Getting the promotional pass is pretty simple. First, travelers must register for this promotion and provide their Southwest Rapid Rewards® account number. Travelers can register for free at Southwest.com/rapidrewards if they don't have an account.
Once registered, travelers must book either one round-trip flight or two one-way qualifying flights by 11:59 p.m. CST on March 27, 2024, for travel between March 25, 2024, through May 22, 2024. If travel is completed during that time and the user is registered, they will earn the promotional Companion Pass, which will be valid for use between August 05, 2024, and October 02, 2024.
Note that charter flights, flights booked for reward and group travel, flights used with the Companion Pass, and Southwest Vacations packages do not qualify for this promotion. The designated travel companion can be changed up to three times with the promotional Companion Pass.
Earning the Companion Pass lets travelers pick one lucky person to travel with them for nearly free on Southwest Airlines. They only need to pay for their flight ticket’s taxes and fees, which start at $5.60 per one-way flight. So, for less than $12, someone can travel along with the person who earned the Companion Pass.
Usually, the Companion Pass is earned after flying 100 qualifying flights or after earning 135,000 Companion Pass qualifying points. Once it is earned, it is good for the remaining year in which it is earned, plus the following year. For example, if the Companion Pass is earned in May 2024, the Pass will be good for the rest of 2024 and in 2025.
The promotional Companion Pass doesn’t last as long but doesn’t require as much travel.
Southwest Airlines has a limited-time promotion that allows travelers to earn a promotional Companion Pass that is good for travel between August 05 and October 02, 2024. The pass will enable travelers to bring one companion for nearly free (they only need to pay for the taxes and fees of the flight, which start at $5.60 one-way).
