Unlimited Free Flights with the Southwest Companion Pass with Lyn Mettler (Part 2)

Episode Description

Today’s show is the second half of my conversation about Southwest’s Companion Pass with Lyn Mettler. 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, and Lyn now teaches hundreds of families this same simple system through her Families Fly Free membership.

Last week, Lyn shared how to earn your Southwest Companion Pass and how the pass works. We’re picking up right where we left off, discussing the specific points activities that do and don’t count toward qualifying for a Companion Pass, and Lyn is sharing a strategy you can use to make sure you qualify for a Companion Pass by early 2024.

Tune in this week to discover how to qualify for unlimited flights through the Southwest Companion Pass. You’ll also learn three common mistakes you need to avoid when working toward your own Companion Pass, so you don’t run into any surprises as you get your hands on your Southwest Companion Pass.
