Rapid Rewards Companion Pass

Fly where you want, when you want, with whom you want.

At Southwest Airlines, we love our frequent flyers and we want to give you something you can really use! So Rapid Rewards Members who fly 50 or more roundtrips (or receive 100 credits through flight and partner use) within a 12-month period receive a Companion Pass. A Companion Pass lets one person of your choice fly free when traveling with you anytime for an entire year!

• Once you reach Companion Pass status, we will automatically notify you either via e-mail (through your Account E-mail Address) or by U.S. mail. You will then need to log on to the password-protected Rapid Rewards section of southwest.com, click on the "Designate your Companion" option, and enter your Companion's information. Or, you can contact Reservations at (800) 435-9792 and provide the Reservations Sales Agent with your Companion's information (name, date of birth, and phone number). Once your initial Companion is designated, you will receive your Companion Pass card in the mail within 7-10 business days.
• The Companion Pass is not subject to capacity controls and is valid whether you're traveling on a Southwest Airlines fare paid ticket or an Award! Be sure to make a reservation and pay the government-imposed September 11th Security Fee of up to $10 per roundtrip. Don't forget to bring your Companion Pass to present upon checkin.
• The Companion Pass can only be used on Southwest-operated service.
• You can change your Companion Pass up to three (3) times during the 12-month validity period. Requests must be made in writing and accompanied by the current Companion Pass card, which will be cancelled, to: Southwest Airlines, Rapid Rewards, P.O. Box 36657, Dallas, TX 75235. Please include your new Companion's name, address, phone number, social security number, and date of birth. Allow 21 days for processing.
• All Companion Pass Rules and Regulations apply
