What is Southwest’s Companion Pass?
The Southwest Airlines Companion Pass is an exclusive travel benefit that allows you to bring a companion on any Southwest flight for free, only requiring payment of taxes and fees, generally as low as $5.60 for a domestic flight.
Even better, Companion Pass isn’t limited to domestic flights or regular fares. Southwest flies to dozens of locations outside the continental United States, including Mexico, the Caribbean, and Hawaii. The Pass can also be used for award tickets, allowing you to redeem Southwest Rapid Rewards points for yourself and bring your companion without using additional points.
The Companion Pass is highly coveted and only achievable by making Southwest a regular part of your travel plans. Members must complete at least 100 qualifying one-way trips with Southwest in a calendar year to earn a pass – no mean feat. The only other way to obtain this pass is by accumulating 110,000 points.
With this new Companion Pass offer, new Southwest Rapid Rewards credit cardholders can bring a travel companion of their choice on as many flights as they’d like through February 28, 2025 (excludes taxes and fees).
