Quote from needdealsnow :
Does the companion pass get added to the account if we buy the ticket but do not travel? Anything in the terms to stop this
No. Yes. You must fly by 11/17/22.
If you do not book by today and fly by 11/17/22 you do not quality. Not flying is not flying.

I saw the comment about using the companion pass for your kids. But can my wife and our daughter book a ticket and both get the companion passes? And then can my son and I fly as companions to my wife and daughter?

Essentially are minors eligible to receive a companion pass?
if you register your daughters RR I dont see why not

I booked a flight leaving in late January with my wife. I just booked a flight for October to get the companion pass.
Once I get the companion pass and designate her as my companion, does anyone know if I get credited back for the late January flight, or do I have to rebook it?

you have to cancel her ticket (not yours) and then add a $5 companion ticket to yours

Did southwest Jack up the price for each ticket?

yup they sure did. I was looking at going back for nov/ 15 and nov 16 and it was only 70 bucks one way just three days ago..one day before this promo. And now with the promo, they increased from $70 each leg to $128 ..so they're super sneaky and not a great deal.

Quote from pechango :
Flight fares change daily. If the flight you were looking up is now within a 21 day window, it's guaranteed to go up (3-6 weeks out is the sweet spot for the lowest price depending on your dep/arr airport).

And like any other elastic pricing item, as the demand goes up, the price goes up. So if you were looking for a DAL --> MDW flight and it was $150 RT yesterday but after this promotion a bunch of people started booking that flight, it's guaranteed to now be $180, $200, $250 as demand increases.
I was looking at a flight that is more than 75 days away and Southwest sure jacked the price up from $70 to 128 each way. That was just 3 days ago on 9/5. Southwest sure is a sneaky SOB

Everyone does this, not just SW. I've seen prices change almost daily on some routes. but when they're about to give you basically unlimited free tickets for a 2 month span, you should expect prices to reflect it.

Do you need to travel first to get the companion fare? Can I book one ticket now for the promotion period and then buy another ticket for the january-march period with companion?

Yes to both. Based on what I understand, its like buy 2 get 1 but that get 1 can be used multiple times with each purchase within that 2 months CP time next year.

On other hand, I registered for this CP promo. Once the first ticket booked, when do I get the CP?

I just signed up for the promotion and booked at 9:05 Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). Am I still eligible for this promotion? It says it ends at 11:59 CST (standard time) and I'm terrible at math. Is that 2 hrs difference? 1? 3?

Appreciate this deal and already signed up and purchased a ticket to fly before 11/17.
I am in the NE and while Southwest advertises NYC to Hawaii on their route maps all routes indicate 'unavailable'. Does a NYC to Hawaii require two tickets. One to the west coast city and then an onward ticket to Hawaii?
