Is there a way or trick that I can use to book these flights now and then have companion pass take the place as one of the fares? I will have the pass by the time the first trip comes up.
Buy your ticket on sale and add your companion with you get the pass. Or buy your companions ticket with points and cancel it and add them as a companion with you get the pass. That way, you aren't stuck with flight credit in their name, as you would be if you bought them a WGA ticket and canceled it later. If there is a seat to be sold, at any price, you can add a companion at that time.
