Many of us know the level of satisfaction (and sometimes relief) that comes with getting a flight booked for the cheapest price possible.

It’s no secret that flying is expensive, especially right now, so we keep our eyes peeled for all the latest deals and discounts so you know how you can save. If you fly Southwest often or are about to, their Companion Pass may be of interest to you. And we have good news — it just got easier to get!

Typically the Southwest Companion Pass is gifted to passengers who fly 100 qualifying one-way flights or earn 135,000 qualifying points in a calendar year. The Companion Pass allows them to designate one person who can fly for free with them (not including taxes and fees) every time they book a flight or redeem points for a flight following the full calendar year, plus the remainder of the year in which they earned it.

However, now Southwest has announced three more ways passengers can accelerate their way to the Companion Pass for a limited time.

Business travelers booking through wabiz.com (SWABIZ®), Global Distribution System (GDS), or Southwest Partner Services (SPS) can also earn triple points during the same promotional period.
Every flight purchased with Rapid Rewards points counts as one Companion Pass qualifying flight when Customers register for this promotion, purchase Southwest qualifying flights, and travel through November 30th.
