Quote from Dyscalculic :
Stupid question of the day

If we have 2 children, 7 and 3, is it best for both of us parents to register for this promotion, and then get our kids registered as companions?

The other way I thought I could fly and make my spouse my companion, but then we'd be paying for 2 more tickets when we fly. Didn't make sense to me. Am I missing anything?

Thank you.
Would also like some input to this question. Made more sense to buy with one child per parent but would rather have my wife for the companion pass.

Not for me. I just cancelled and rebooked the exact same flights that I booked several week ago for early November and the prices were near identical...

Who would you be traveling with if/when you book your own tickets? That's who you should choose to be your companion. I wouldn't choose my wife because if she goes with me, I have to pay for 2 more kid passes (no family nearby). But if I choose my 8 year old, they can just tag along to whatever i'm doing.

So for the scenario, i'd buy one to get a companion for my 8 year old and i'd have my wife buy one to get my 5 year old as a companion. That way I only have to pay for 2 tickets for a family of 4 to travel.

You would have to cancel and rebook and hope the prices are the same from when you originally booked. You can't "change" and "rebook" that way. New revenue flights, not existing reservations.

Basically when you have a companion pass, you choose one person to fly for free (+ tax/fees) when you book your own ticket.

So if you have a companion and are traveling once a week, you can bring that companion along with you every time and you're only paying their taxes/fees ($12 roughly).

Whomever has the CP will pay for a ticket.

If you always fly with your wife, put her as your companion and fly your kid this year so he can take the other kid as his companion. Or if you're always flying with one kid or the other, have her get the CP and you can still get some flexibility by changing your companion twice

Can the qualifying round trip flight be bought & booked for someone else and not the rewards member?
