If you know where you want to travel (for the second flight), go ahead and book the primary traveler at whatever fare tier you want. If you are afraid the flight will be sold out by the time you have a companion pass, then book a second seat for the future companion. That way, you have a seat for the companion. If you can, use points for the second seat, as those are fully refundable. Or buy business select if you don't mind having the cash tied up for a bit. When you get the companion pass, cancel the 2nd seat. If there is a seat on the plane, it does not matter fare it is -- you can use the companion pass for it.

Grandma and Grandpa can travel basically for 1/2 off and visit all the grandchildren who live across the country. If the flight is delayed or cancelled they are in no rush to get there. Great deal!

Yea you need to buy a ticket for 8/15-9/30. How would you expect to fly and your companion is free if you don't have a ticket?

If you purchase by 4/5 a flight that is before 5/24, then any flights you book that fly between 8/15-9/30 you can bring your companion for free. You can buy the 8/15-9/30 tickets anytime but won't be able to add your companion until 8/15 as per previous similar promos.

Seriously I don't get it. If I have to buy a ticket and fly by may 24th. Do I need to buy more tickets to fly with my companion on 8/15 - 9/30?

Eyes crossed reading fine print. Anyone know if using a flight credit + primarily cash to book a OW or RT would negate the requirements?

It's a companion pass, aka a pass for your companion.

"Companion flies free* with you" + companion pass being a pass for your companion seems pretty self explanatory.

You think your companion gets to fly free by themselves? i.e. they don't need to be your companion on the flight? Or that you also get to fly for free using their companion pass?

Please explain how you're arriving at whatever your conclusion is...

If I already have companion pass, can I get it for another companion or extend the current one past the end of the year?
