Yes, you read that right; Southwest Airlines is offering a 2-for-1 deal with its Companion Pass that El Paso travelers won't want to miss.

Usually, there are two ways to earn a Companion Pass via Southwest Airlines which are:

  • (100) one-way qualifying flights on Southwest in a year.
  • Or 125,000 Companion Pass-qualifying points in a year.

But for a limited time, Southwest Airlines is offering a one-time Companion Pass deal.

There are several ways to fly for less, including credit card points, airline rewards, and promotional discounts, all of which are standard practices among airlines to attract new customers.

Apart from these ongoing promotions El Pasoans who often travel to Mexico and South America have a geographic advantage because we can save even more by traveling out of Cd. Juarez.

But when it comes to domestic flights, we are always looking for a great deal, especially with inflation at an all-time high, so this might be the perfect time to take advantage of this special Southwest Companion Pass deal.

As always, there are stipulations and travel restrictions which we'll list below, but here's how the promotion works:

  • You will first need to register HERE with Southwest Airlines
  • Register for Rapid Rewards, which is free if you're not already a member.
  • You will need to book two paid one-way flights or one paid round-trip flight by Thursday, September 8, 2022, and travel by November 17, 2022.
  • Once that's complete, you'll receive your Companion Pass so that your plus one can fly free with you anytime between January 4 and March 4, 2023.
  • You will have to pay tax on your companion's ticket, which is usually $5.60 one-way per person on a domestic flight.

Fine Print:

As with any promotion, you want to make sure you read the fine print. In this case, these promotional flights cannot be booked on Rapid Rewards points to qualify for the Companion Pass; however, flights booked on unused LUV vouchers, travel funds, or gift cards will still be eligible.

If you change your itinerary after purchase, the flights you booked initially may not qualify for the Companion Pass promotion, so call and ask customer service before you make changes.

As airlines try to make up for travel time lost during the pandemic, we can expect more deals to attract travelers, so keep an eye out because as we round the end of the year, we are sure to see more promotional deals for the coming year.
