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?
I highly doubt there is an NYC to Hawaii route on SW so yes it'll require at least one layover. Guessing either Denver or Phoenix.

I purchased my tickets on 9/7 but noticed the price of one of the flights has dropped. Is it okay for me to change my flight to get flight credit or would that void the deal?

Also, can I purchase flights for January to March and get flight credit back? If yes, is there a specific process to achieve this? Asking so I can book earlier to avoid the increase in flight prices.

Any change can possibly void the promotion. You'll also have to wait until the CP is issued before you can use it.

Hi can someone explain the process to book future flights (when I will actually have the companion pass). So I'm 99% sure I qualify for the CP for a flight I booked within the correct time frame. RT Flight is Oct 5th. So come Jan 1st I should get the CP.

Have already started looking at flights in Jan/Feb, Id like to start booking flights for next year to use my CP on. Do I book 1 person now, and hopefully add companion later? Do I book 2 people? Or do I have to wait until Jan to actually book the flights (which could be sold out or much more expensive by then).

Directly from the FAQ "Once you have qualified, meaning you registered, booked and flew one round trip or two one-way qualifying flight(s) during the applicable dates specified in promotion terms and conditions, you will receive an email from Southwest that includes information on next steps and how to designate and utilize the Promotional Companion Pass. Southwest intends to send this email to all qualifying Members within 10 days after the second flight is completed." Just completed my second leg today, will be awaiting an email within 10 days, otherwise will reach out to CS.

Never received an email, called CS they said the promotion was "Active" on my account -- meaning I had met the qualifications. The rep did not have access to the follow up email/ instructions but said I just need to email Southwest.

Side note -- for some reason I thought it was a one use companion pass, not a two month companion pass bounce

Anybody know if I change (not cancel) the flights I booked through this promotion if it'll still qualify for the companion pass next year?
