Stop overthinking it — start flying two-for-one.

You’ve probably heard about the Southwest Companion Pass — but if you’ve ever tried to figure it out, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why I made this guide. I’ll show you exactly how to earn the 135,000 points without stepping on a plane, the timing trick that makes your pass last almost two full years, which cards to open so you don’t waste an application, and how to avoid the biggest mistakes beginners make.

I’ve broken it down step by step so it’s actually easy to follow. No confusing lingo, no guesswork — just a simple plan that helps you start flying two-for-one on real family trips.
