Once you’ve collected points toward your Southwest Companion Pass, which lets 1 person fly free with you for the life of the pass, can you use those points to also book free flights? Lyn has the answer in this 1-minute Travel Q&A video.

Please note, Southwest has updated the number of points required to earn the Southwest Companion Pass from 125,000 to 135,000 as of January 1, 2023, though that does not affect the simple way we teach earning and always maintaining the pass.

To get 1-on-1 help to quickly and easily earn your own Southwest Companion Pass (and ALWAYS have one), join my Families Fly Free membership where you also get access my Fly Free Formula, personal support, weekly live webinars and a step-by-step plan to always fly your family free.
