Southwest Airlines is making its Companion Pass more accessible for a limited time, allowing Rapid Rewards members to earn a two-month pass by booking just one round-trip flight or two one-way flights. Travelers must register for the promotion online and book their qualifying flights by 11:59 p.m. CDT on August 28. Eligible flights must be taken by November 15.
The offer applies to most fare types, including Rapid Rewards redemptions and Cash + Points bookings, but excludes the carrier’s new Basic fares. Those who qualify will receive a Companion Pass valid from January 6 through March 6, 2026. The pass allows travelers to bring a guest on Southwest flights with no additional airfare, though taxes and fees starting at $5.60 each way still apply.
Passengers can designate one companion but are allowed to change this selection up to three times during the two-month period. “We love offering Companion Pass because it allows Customers — new or long-time Rapid Rewards Members — access to the many benefits of our award-winning loyalty program,” a Southwest spokesperson told TPG.
