Southwest Airlines has just introduced an incredibly generous promotion. With this, you can earn a promotional Companion Pass after booking a single roundtrip ticket, and that could be a great deal.

Book a ticket, get a promotional Companion Pass
With a new promotion from Southwest Airlines, you can earn a promotional Companion Pass by booking a single roundtrip ticket (or two one-ways). Here are the details of how this works:
- You must register for the promotion, and then purchase one roundtrip or two one-way tickets by June 27, 2025 (yes, the ticket has to be booked after registering, so it’s a short booking window; however, you can always cancel an existing ticket and rebook with vouchers)
- In order for a ticket to qualify, it can be booked with cash, points, or Cash + Points; the only exclusion is that Basic tickets don’t quality
- You must travel by August 31, 2025
- Then you can earn a promotional Companion Pass that’s valid for travel between September 8 and November 15, 2025; you’ll be able to change your companion up to three times during the promotion period
This is an extremely generous offer. We usually see an offer like this a few times per year, so it’s nice to see it return. It seems that even with all the other changes at Southwest, this promotion is at least one thing that’s remaining consistent.
What is Southwest Companion Pass?
For those of you not familiar with Companion Pass, it’s one of the best deals in travel. Those with Companion Pass can have a companion fly with them for just the cost of taxes, regardless of whether paying cash or redeeming points. Essentially think of it as a two-for-one travel pass, which is otherwise pretty unheard of.
Ordinarily Southwest Companion Pass requires 100 flights or 135,000 qualifying points in a calendar year, so this promotion offers quite the shortcut (though also with a limited travel window).
Bottom line
Southwest Airlines has introduced a generous promotion that can earn you Companion Pass. Those who register and then book a roundtrip ticket by June 27 for travel by August 31 can earn a promotional Companion Pass valid for several weeks later this year.
Obviously this promotion isn’t for everyone, but if you have any travel to potentially plan over the promotion period, then this offer is seriously worth considering. It’s awesome how often Southwest offers this promotion.

This promotional Companion Pass offer is truly a gem. Booking just one roundtrip ticket (or two one-ways) by June 27, 2025, can earn you a Companion Pass valid from September 8 to November 15, 2025. Whether you're using cash, points, or Cash + Points, you still qualify — just make sure to register before you book, and Basic fares don’t count.
What makes it even more exciting is that you can change your companion up...

Interesting that it "overlaps" somewhat with another companion pass promotion from earlier this year - that promotion gives me a temporary companion pass from 7 August to 8 October 2025.
It's a good deal if you want to fly a friend for free!
Yeah the incentive to extend that compaion pass for a month is questionable. Especially if I would need to pay extra for the WGAP. A RT upcharge for WGAP is $50~100 from basic. I would need to squeeze out 2 trips late Octobor to early Novembeer for this to make sense.
If I don't have the Aug-Oct CP, then it is a no brainer.
