WHY IT RATES: Southwest is getting people ready to travel again with a new promotion.-Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.


Southwest Airlines Co. announced its promotional Companion Pass offer is back and ready for takeoff. As part of Southwest Airlines Wanna Get Away campaign, Rapid Rewards Members who qualify have the ability to travel with a Companion in January and February of 2022.

As travelers continue to get out there and explore new destinations, or reconnect with places and people that are important to them, Southwest offers a challenge to Members of its Rapid Rewards loyalty program, 'Why fly alone? When Rapid Rewards Members can travel with their Companion for free!'

Rapid Rewards Members who act fast can earn a Companion Pass valid for unlimited usage from Jan. 6, 2022, through Feb. 28, 2022, by registering for this promotion, purchasing a Southwest revenue flight from now through Sept. 9, 2021, and then traveling one of those booked reservations from Sept. 9, 2021, through Nov. 18, 2021.

"We believe in taking care of our customers and are thrilled to bring back our Companion Pass promotion," said Corbitt Burns, Southwest Airlines' Director of Rapid Rewards. "With this promotion, we hope to give our members-new or long-time loyalists, a glimpse of all the unique benefits we offer with our Rapid Rewards program."

Companion Pass is a unique benefit among U.S. airlines and allows qualifying Customers to designate one person to fly with them, free of airline charges (does not include taxes and fees from $5.60 one-way) every time the customer purchases or redeems points for a flight.

So, pick that special someone for that desired getaway, whether that be a friend, partner, spouse, family member, or basically anyone-and get ready for takeoff. Visit Southwest.com for the full list of terms and conditions.
