How to Book a Companion Pass on Southwest Airlines? (844) 734-0813

[Edwinboaz]

The Southwest Airlines Companion Pass allows a designated companion to fly with you for just taxes and fees (starting at $5.60 one-way). To book, you must first earn the pass by flying 100 qualifying one-way flights or earning 135,000 qualifying points in a calendar year. For eligibility details, call (844) 734-0813.

 

Once earned, designate your companion via your Rapid Rewards account on southwest.com or by calling (844) 734-0813. Book your own flight first, using cash, points, or Cash + Points, as the pass applies to any fare type. Then, add your companion by logging into “My Trips,” selecting your flight, and clicking “Add Companion.” Enter their details and pay taxes/fees. For assistance, contact (844) 734-0813.

 

Ensure seats are available, as companions need an open seat, though fare class doesn’t matter. Book early for popular routes like spring break to Hawaii. If seats are limited, call (844) 734-0813 to check availability. You can change your companion up to three times per year, but reservations must be made for each trip.

 

If you haven’t earned the pass yet but expect to, book a refundable fare for your companion, then cancel and rebook using the pass once earned. For guidance on this strategy, call (844) 734-0813. The pass is valid for the remainder of the year earned plus the next full year, offering unlimited use with no blackout dates.

 

For international flights or complex itineraries, confirm rules, as taxes/fees may be higher (e.g., ~$75 for international). To maximize value or navigate booking issues, contact Southwest at (844) 734-0813 for personalized support and to ensure compliance with Rapid Rewards terms.
