Southwest’s Companion Pass lets one person fly with you for taxes and fees. From 2027 it takes 140,000 tier qualifying points from paid flights and card spending, or 100 one-way flights, and card sign-up bonuses won’t count. Apply for a Southwest card by Dec. 2, 2026, and once approved, its bonus can still count toward a pass good through 2027. Source
