Southwest Airlines Reintroduces Limited-Time Companion Pass Offer

Southwest Airlines Co. has reintroduced its popular Companion Pass® promotion, offering Rapid Rewards® Members the opportunity to select one person to fly with them for free2 whenever they purchase or redeem points for a flight.

“We’re excited to bring back the Companion Pass promotion, which showcases one of the many perks of our award-winning Rapid Rewards program,” said Jennifer Bridie, Vice President of Marketing at Southwest Airlines. “

Earlier this year, we introduced Cash + Points, providing our Customers with greater flexibility to maximize their points. Now, for the first time, Members can use Rapid Rewards points, a combination of cash and points, or other eligible payment methods to book qualifying flights that count toward this Companion Pass promotion.

To qualify, Rapid Rewards Members must:³

1. Register for the promotion and purchase a qualifying Southwest® flight (one round trip or two one-way qualifying flights), starting today through Sept. 5, 2024.
2. Travel by Nov. 20, 2024; and
3. Designate a Companion to fly for free1 with them between Jan. 6, 2025, and March 6, 2025.
