Update: Registration must have been completed and flights booked by September 25, 2020 to take advantage of this promotion.
Southwest Airlines is offering a fantastic promotion to earn a free Companion Pass for two months. All you need to do is take a flight before November 15. However, you only have until midnight on September 25 to book your flight and get this buy-one-get-one-free pass. So, jump on this promotion quickly if you're planning to travel by November 15!
How to Earn the Southwest Promotional Companion Pass
- Register for this promotion before booking
- Book a flight on Southwest Airlines before September 25, 2020
- Travel dates must be between September 22 and November 15, 2020
- Receive a Companion Pass valid between January 6 and February 28, 2021
Key Terms to Keep in Mind
- You must book your flight directly with Southwest Airlines
- Provide your Rapid Rewards account number at the time of booking
- The flight only needs to be one-way to qualify
- Charter flights, group travel, Southwest Vacations® Packages and reservations made using Rapid Rewards points do not qualify for this promotion
- Changes to your itinerary will cancel the Companion Pass
- You may change your designated companion up to three times while you have the Companion Pass
If you plan to earn the full Southwest Companion Pass in 2021, beware careful of any changes that you make to the promotional Companion Pass. You can only change your Companion Pass companion three times per calendar year. And any changes to your designated companion on this promotional Companion Pass will be subtracted from the three allowed changes you get with your 2021 pass.
Our Take
As far as we're concerned, this is a fantastic deal. This promotional Companion Pass enables you to take one family member or friend with you for free between January 6 and February 28, 2021. You will only need to pay the taxes and fees (minimally $5.60 one-way).
By just flying one flight in the next 8 weeks, you unlock unlimited BOGO for almost two months. So, definitely take advantage of this offer if you have a trip you can book (or rebook) in the next three days. Even better, you can utilize Southwest's ongoing promotion of fares as low as $49. To get these fares, you'll need to make a 21-day advanced booking. Just make sure to fly by November 15 to qualify for this promotion.
If you already have a flight booked for the promotional period, remember that Southwest has no cancellation fees. So, you can cancel your existing reservation, register for this promotion, and then rebook your flights.

The companion pass is an amazing deal for flyers like me who take a lot of short flights! Booking companion flights is easy and can be done through the app. Southwest has great incentives.
This is a fantastic promotion, it will be interesting to see if any other airlines come up with some good promotions. Good deals will for sure encourage people to start travelling again
Hopefully this “buy one get one free” offer will increase patronage rapidly. Let’s hope that the pandemic will not return during the upcoming winter season.
Southwest bringing a strong promotion. Wish I had a need/desire to fly right now.
There are really some great flying deals out there now but not sure I am ready o travel due to CVD19.
Any idea why they extended it (although just for 1 day?) Are people not hopping on this amazing deal? Things like this makes me weary.
Well, they are smart. This does make me want to try out SW. Right now? No. I can see that a lot of people will take advantage of this offer. I know that I would jump on this if I had plans to go anywhere on a plane. Giving people a test of what they could have is a good idea because then they’ll crave that new thing. I wonder if they’ll do this again if they see a benefit to it?
This is a really attractive promo and kudos to SW for coming up with something like that. Hopefully this should kick the bit 3’s into offering something more substantial.
What one does, the others often follow. Fingers crossed.
These promotions are getting better and better!
This is a very good opportunity if you are going to book a SW flight in next days.
I’m sure this will benefit some. The window is to narrow so won’t be one of them. 😟
That’s a fantastic deal if you have SW flights on the horizon!
Wow! Thanks for the head’s up on this one. That’s a fantastic deal if you have SW flights on the horizon.
This is how you do promotions!
Definitely! A real incentive, and not long to wait.
