DALLAS — Looking to get away and bring someone with you? Well now's your chance to take advantage of this limited-time offer!

Dallas-based Southwest Airlines is bringing back its Companion Pass promotion for a limited time. 

Through this promotion, travelers who are Rapid Rewards Members can designate one person to fly with them for free after they purchase tickets or redeem points for a flight. 

"We love offering the Companion Pass promotion because it allows our Members to experience one of the many benefits of our award-winning Rapid Rewards program," Vice President of Marketing at Southwest Airlines Jennifer Bridie said. "Earlier this year, we launched Cash + Points, giving our Customers extra flexibility to make their points go further. And now, for the first time, Members can use their Rapid Rewards points, a combination of cash and points, or other eligible forms of payment to book qualifying flights that count toward this Companion Pass promotion."

How to qualify for the Companion Pass promotion

To qualify for the promotion, Rapid Rewards Members must register for the promotion and purchase a qualifying Southwest flight.

According to Southwest, the qualifying flight must be one round trip or two one-way flights purchased before Sept. 5. and you must travel by Nov. 20. Once these two steps are completed, your chosen companion flies free with you anytime from Jan. 6 to March 6, 2025.
