Southwest Airlines announced yesterday the awaited return of the Companion Pass, and we’re scrambling to plan a last-minute bestie vacation. Qualifying Southwest Rapid Rewards members are able to designate a travel companion using the pass for unlimited use between August 15 and September 30, 2023. The pass has a great value, allowing the companion to fly for free, and comes at a time where travel isn’t so finance-friendly.
"Now more than ever, Customers are looking to get the most loyalty value from their purchases," said Jonathan Clarkson, Vice President Marketing at Southwest Airlines. "We're continuously looking for opportunities to appreciate our Rapid Rewards Members, especially with this unique way to earn the coveted Companion Pass. It's a great way for them to experience the value and many perks of our award-winning loyalty program, as well as our legendary Hospitality."How can I get the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass?
