Flash promo on the Southwest Companion Pass
How cool is this?! Southwest is running a flash promo on their much desired Southwest Companion Pass until September 8th, 2022. Basically if you purchase one roundtrip ticket or two one way flights by September 8th, you’ll get a temporary Southwest Companion Pass from January 4th until March 4th, 2023. If you’re unfamiliar with the Southwest I spell it out in greater detail below, but it allows two people to fly for the price of one + taxes and ordinarily requires earning 125k Rapid Rewards in a year.

What is the Southwest Companion Pass?
It’s really pretty simple, and as I mentioned one of the topics I’m asked about most. Every single time you fly, whether you used cash or points to book your Southwest ticket, your companion flies with you free. This requires earning 125k Qualifying Rapid Rewards points in a year in order to qualify.
- You still have to pay the companion taxes and fees
- You have to select the companion that will fly free with you while your companion pass is valid
- You can change who this is 3x in the year
- This is based on calendar year so you could change it 3x this year, and then again 3x in 2022
- You can make changes by calling this number 1-800-435-9792
- You can change who this is 3x in the year
