The CP came in handy a few times, I would fly there and meet her, or vice versa, then we would travel somewhere together.
I can honestly say that if it weren't for SWA, we would not have married. Southwest gave us the ability to travel often and lot's of RR tickets allowed us to travel on short notice. There were multiple occasions where a phone call on a Friday morning turned into a Southwest Airlines flight that same afternoon
Yeah with her in Lubbock and me in Dallas...we're in almost the same boat. I sure do wish we could get double credit for flights. I think we've racked up somewhere between 40-50 credits between the two of us lately...and very few times have we been on the same flights together. If not for her busy schedule, I would love to fly in and take her on a trip somewhere. I'll probably go ahead and "earn" a CP mid-next year so that we can use it for the 5 or 6 trips we have on the books so far (she'll be back here by then) plus our trips to Lubbock for TT football!!! I'm sure it will come in handy. Now if only SW flew to Maldives for our honeymoon!
