Southwest Airlines Co. announces the return of its highly-coveted Companion Pass® promotion. The airline’s Companion Pass allows Rapid Rewards®1 Members to designate one person to fly with them for free2 every time the Member purchases or redeems points for a flight.

“We love offering this Companion Pass promotion because it allows our Members to experience one of the many benefits of our award-winning Rapid Rewards program,” said Jennifer Bridie, Vice President of Marketing at Southwest Airlines. “Earlier this year, we launched Cash + Points, giving our Customers extra flexibility to make their points go further. And now, for the first time, Members can use their Rapid Rewards points, a combination of cash and points, or other eligible forms of payment 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.
