So you buy a ticket and travel by 11/18/21. Then buy ANOTHER ticket for 1/6-2/28/2022 and on THAT flight your companion flies free?

This is similar to last year deal, but not as good. Last year was book "a" flight by x date (2020) and travel by y date (2020). Have companion pass January to end of Feb 2021.

Basically, book a round trip ticket by 9/9/21 with travel dates before 11/18/2021 .
You will then have a companion pass to used with travel booked between 1/6/22 to 2/28/22

Notes: Price doesn't not matter. I booked a $60 one-way ticket between NYC and DC. Used the companion pass for my trip to Taos, NM in January. DC to ABQ roundtrip was $260, so i essentially saved $200 on airfare.

Doesn't it state it in the terms and conditions?

"..., reservations made using Rapid Rewards points do not qualify for this promotion"

Do the 2 one way tickets have to be the same passenger or can I buy one for a companion to qualify?
For YOU to earn the companion pass, YOU have to fly the 1 RT or 2 OW flights. companion doesn't start until Jan and that's when you designate who that person is.

Up until covid, I flew SW exclusively for business. 15-20 flights per year. It's not emirates if that's what you're wondering but it's a decent seat that'll get you to where you're going for a good price dealing with good employees. And the airline is very easy to deal with.
This would be great for Alaska Hawaii and Bahamas and to catch connecting internationals. Domestically Spirit and Frontier have been serving our needs well. Haven't booked on SW in a while.

I've had my companion pass since the beginning of 2019 and it finally runs out at the end of the year (it's been extended a couple of times). Love companion pass and wish I could extend it even longer.

Any idea on how "pleasurable" flights are on SWA these days? I keep reading about passengers going crazy and assaulting other passengers and flight attendants. Flying used to be fun. Haven't flown in several years.
I flew SWA to Cancun a month ago and other than the mask thing and not serving alcohol, it's just like it's always been.
Don't let a few isolated incidents keep you from traveling and living your life.

I have some flights to Florida later this month. If I change them do you think it will qualify for a "booking"? Also have a bunch of credits so assuming that if I use the credits to book a separate flight it will trigger the free companion pass.
You would need to book a new flight and use the credit from the previous booking.

Are they expecting NOT to cancel so many flights by then? Will they have enough pilots for all their flights? Bad experience with Southwest last month.

The same passenger needs to:
  1. Register for this promotion with their Rapid Rewards account number
  2. Buy two one-way or one round-trip ticket with cash, travel funds, gift cards, or some other cash instrument (not Rapid Rewards points) for the person on that Rapid Rewards account
  3. Fly the two one-way and one round-trip ticket and have it credited to that persons Rapid Rewards account
The shorter, but still accurate, answers already given seem to have been ignored, hopefully this helps.

Check your promotions section as I also had a double points offer. I cancelled my United flights (refund credits valid through 12/31/22) and booked on Southwest. I also had eight unused SWA travel credits. System only allowed me to use two at a time (three payments total) so I booked "dummy" flights with three vouchers that covered the full cost and then canceled the flight essentially combining three credits into one. It's silly how you can't use more, but I'm glad this stupid loophole exists. I ended up booking 3 one way flights with all my credits with $4 to spare. I'd call that a productive afternoon.

That's technically not double points. It's just 2x TQP... so you get to A-list 2x as fast. You can't spend them.

But still a good deal if you need it. A-list preferred is nice... when the wifi works.

Likewise, if you book now but change the flight, you should be fine. The minor change within the acceptable window of time won't affect your eligibility. Your record locator shows time of original booking.

When do you think I would have to rebook?
