Online companion pass booking workaround
 
If the Southwest.com website will not allow you to book a companion pass reservation, here is the direct URL to the booking page:

Code:

http://www.southwest.com/account/rapidrewards/bookCompanion.html?recordLocator={PNR}&ss=0
You'll need to replace the {PNR} with the PNR of the ticket you'd like to add your companion to, and after logging in the link will automatically create a companion pass booking using the flight info from the PNR you inserted.

Thanks to bobcollie for the shorter url method.

[in past days there was a security issue with this link, but the bug is now fixed]

Thanks. Cool trick that worked for me.

Even easier

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I truly dislike making bookings on the phone 'cause then they're not in your online listing. Not that I can get a listing of my upcoming flights today (!$#$$ website) but was about to succumb to that as I needed to book two CP segments today. So many thanks!

I have to book a companion pass for a flight on March 28th.

Hope it all works better by then. :td::td::td:

How does one go about booking CP travel on the new site? Do you need to book your own travel, then go back and book your companion as a separate step, i.e. you cannot book both tickets at the same time?

Is there anyway to check upcoming CP travel schedule?

I had to check through my companion's RR account. Stinks.

Thank you SO much for this link! Was in dire need of booking my companion & it wasn't working through the regular site... worked like a charm using your link. :)

CP booking not working again--what's the workaround?

expert7700 Mar 3, 2011 11:38 pm

there was a workaround posted to allow a CP to be booked without seeing the fight in your upcoming itineraries first.

However it had a security flaw due to a bug in the southwest site. It's been escalated to Southwest's it department who seem to have moved very quickly on it.

My own RR account will not show upcoming itineraries or allow CP booking, a friends will. Even a call to Southwest could not get a CP reservation booked. They told me to call back in 1-2 days to book a flight for sunday, which had 3 open seats left on it. Finally a supervisor agreed to put the ticket on hold, pending a $2.50 payment at the airport upto an hour before the flight.
