Can a CP fly if the base ticket no shows?
I am flying on as my wife's companion. If her plans change and she buys another ticket on a different day, will I be able to fly if we do not cancel her original ticket that my CP is attached to?
Thanks! |
If the Companion Pass holder is not on the plane, the Companion cannot fly for free and will be removed from the flight.

That's a negative, ghost rider. As per WN Companion Pass rules: "If the Companion is not traveling with the Member, the Companion will be required to pay for his/her ticket."
|
Just to clarify, I was not going to cancel the original ticket so the money paid for the original ticket will still be paid, they just would not be on the flight.

Both the Member and the Companion must be booked on the same flights and dates. If the Member’s ticket is cancelled, the Companion’s ticket will also be cancelled. If the Member changes his/her ticket, the Member must also change the Companion’s ticket to match the Member’s ticket changes or the Companion’s ticket will be cancelled. If the Companion is not traveling with the Member, the Companion will be required to pay for his/her ticket. The Member and the Companion must check in together |

I believe that if the companion is on the plane and the passholder isn't (a companion boarding pass is scanned and the passholder's isn't), they double check to make sure they didn't miss the passholder and then remove the companion. |

If a “Companion” could travel without the CP holder, I could see a gigantic business opportunity.
So no, of course not. |
Here is the "be real careful" part of this whole thing. This is all against rules and laws, but...
You need YOUR boarding pass to get through security. You need ALMOST ANY boarding pass to get on the plane. So, if you were able to board with HER boarding pass, you could then log in and cancel your ticket,even though it was free. |

Scenario: Companion boards first, CP holder never boards. There is no way to "remove" the companion from the flight as there are no assigned seats. What happens then?
