Earn a Companion Pass with Southwest for Free Travel!

Southwest Airlines is offering a promotion to earn a Companion Pass valid from January 5 to March 3, 2027. To qualify, you need to register by August 6, then book and complete one qualifying round trip or two one-way flights during the travel window between August 3 and November 18, 2026. Once qualified, you'll be able to designate a companion to fly with you free of airline charges (excluding taxes and fees from $5.60) during the period of January to March 2027. The deal has a very high level of value, as the Companion Pass typically requires significant points or multiple flights, but this promotion simplifies the process and covers travel during a popular winter period. The offer's popularity score of 5 and the low price of $18 (likely a fee or fare that is incidental to the major benefit) indicate strong user interest. The promotion's ability to unlock free flying for a companion during prime travel months makes it highly attractive for frequent flyers planning ahead.
