Understanding the Southwest Companion Pass
The Southwest Companion Pass allows travelers to bring a friend or family member along for free on Southwest flights, significantly enhancing the value of the pass. It can be used an unlimited number of times as long as there are available seats, and travelers only pay the associated taxes, usually around $5.60 per leg of the flight. Importantly, passengers can add their companion even if the original ticket was purchased using points or cash by someone else. This flexibility makes the Companion Pass an attractive option for frequent flyers who want to save significantly on travel expenses.
