ALERT! You Can with Fly a Friend for FREE on Southwest — But You’ll Want To Hurry

You may be annoyed with Southwest’s long-time open seating policy being moved to assigned seating. Or, that the airline’s “bags fly free” policy is gone. However, you’re going to want to fly with Southwest for one big reason– but you’ll have to book asap!

Southwest recently announced its “Fly with a Friend for Free!” promotion, and you’re going to want to check it out. Stop whatever you’re doing, because the promotion is only out for a limited time.

If you’re looking for a travel agent to help with your vacation, we recommend our friends at Mouse Fan Travel. They’re experts in the field with over 20 years of vacation planning experience, and they can help take a bunch of the stress out of the entire booking process for you!

Southwest’s Companion Pass promotion is officially back and available for a limited time. The Companion Pass allows Rapid Rewards Members to designate one person to fly with them for FREE every time the Member purchases or redeems points for a flight.

Southwest stated that they love offering the Companion Pass because it “allows Customers—new or long-time Rapid Rewards Members—access to the many benefits of our award-winning loyalty program.”

So, how does it work? To qualify for the offer, Rapid Rewards Members must log in and register for the promotion, and then purchase a qualifying Southwest flight on any fare from February 2nd through February 5th, 2026. This can be any one round-trip or two one-way qualifying flights.

You must travel by March 31st, 2026, and then designate a companion to fly for free between August 10th, 2026, and October 7th, 2026.

This is a great opportunity to travel with a friend for way less. You may be able to utilize an upcoming business trip or vacation that you have scheduled within the next month. If you’re looking for more information on the offering, you can visit Southwest.com and log in for the full list of terms and conditions.

We may have been upset about some of the recent Southwest changes, but you can’t deny that this is an offering worth going after. We’re always keeping an eye out for all the latest travel news and updates, so make sure to stay tuned to AllEars.
