Episode Description
We’re fast approaching the end of the year, and in the points travel world, that means it’s the season for earning one of the most valuable perks in points travel: the Southwest Companion Pass. Today, I’m joined by Southwest expert Lyn Mettler, and she’s breaking down everything you need to know about the coveted Southwest Companion Pass.
A longtime travel journalist, Lyn has been writing about travel and interviewing experts for years. In 2015, she discovered how to fly her family of 4 free to all the places she’d written about, going from one car trip a year to flying free six times every year around the US, Europe, and the Caribbean. She now teaches hundreds of families this same simple system through her Families Fly Free membership, where her mission is to bring families together through travel.
