Oh, I assumed you meant if you booked 2 separate flights for yourself would you get 2 companion passes.
I didnt ask about that if it would stack for yourself or not to get 2 passes if you flying that much.

You can only have one companion pass per RR account. You can't have two companions.

Please help, I'm a bit confused..
If I buy a RT ticket for my son (I register but purchase in his name), will I then be able to use the CP for my myself and my spouse?

Or will my son have to register and book for himself and then use the CP by flying himself and a companion? Or can we (his parents) use it?
TIA

One of the Terms & Conditions states: A qualifying one-way flight for this promotion is a one-way revenue flight on Southwest Airlines from an origin city to a destination city, including any intermediate stops and/or connections on Southwest Airlines. A qualifying round trip flight for this promotion is a round trip revenue flight on Southwest Airlines from an origin city to a destination city and back to the originating airport or carrier-recognized co-terminal. Valid on new reservations booked within the Promotion Period only. Travel booked or flown prior to registration for this promotion is not eligible for this Promotional Companion Pass offer. Companion Pass, charter flights, reward and group travel, and Southwest Vacations® packages do not qualify as one-way or round trip revenue flights for this promotion. Changes made to any itinerary after purchase of a one-way or round trip revenue flight may eliminate qualification for this promotion.

What does "Revenue" flight mean? Can I book the initial qualifying flight using points? or does it have to be money paid?
Just money paid. There are a few other ways to pay such as LUV vouchers but you cannot use points!

Southwest has a team of people who hedge fuel prices. And book long term contracts. They have not been impacted as much as any of the other airlines. If you look at europe their ticket prices do not match the rise here in the US.
Salary increases and returning profits to shareholders is driving up ticket prices more than fuel is wager. But I don't track the airlines stocks.

The person who flies is the one who gets the CP. Anyone can buy it, but the flyer has to be registered for the promo BEFORE the ticket is purchased. The purchaser is immaterial.

I just registered my friend and bought him a ticket. He'll get the CP in January. Only flights that HE is on in January and February will get a free companion.

Those flights, however, can be paid for with points...also by anyone.

You can (and maybe should) book the flights before January. The CP will be added to the account and then you can add the companion, but if you wait until January, the prices for the purchased ticket will be higher.
