For some reason they felt it necessary to spell this out in the CP terms: "An individual may not travel as both a Member and a Companion on the same flight." What does that mean? Would that involve bringing a cello with you?
That's because people would get CP's for their whole family and only buy one ticket. Every couple years somebody posts here thinking that they are the first person ever to have had that idea. I'll bet this rule was included after someone tried to chain Companion Passes in the first year they existed. That would have required phone booking, because the website didn't exist. The phone agent would have reported the booking, prompting the new rule.
