Southwest Makes It Easier To Earn A Companion Pass

Richard and Ed are both dealing with some travel fails as the summer winds down. Thunderstorms are part of the issue but the lack of ability for some airlines to recover makes matters much worse.

Southwest has made it much easier to earn the Companion Pass, arguably the best benefit of an airline loyalty program. Richard and Ed discuss this is detail and Richard contemplates a change in strategy.

Lastly, Ed gets a chance to visit the Capital One Lounge shortly after it opened. He had a mixed experience.
