Welcome to Flyertalk, Candecorndog!

Southwest is a strong contender for you. If your travel gets to the 5-6 times a year level and you have one specific person consistently to travel with, look carefully at earning Southwest's Companion Pass. 100% free for the second person, no blackouts. All details in the Southwest forum here.
