You're not doing anything wrong, that's how it works. Separate confirmation numbers, one for the CP holder and one for the companion and thus separate check ins.

Yes, the tax is included. At the airport they will ask what airline you are flying and based on that they will know you have already paid the tax.

Tampa opens 90 minutes before the first departure, although from my experience, the check-in area opening time at many airports can often run ~15 minutes late.

Schedules and routes often change when the schedule is extended so you would need to wait until that happens. THere's no exact date for the June 2018 schedule to be released yet, but I would guess late September or early October. You can check this page for dates: https://www.southwest.com/air/flight-schedules/index.html

Yes, if you rebook at the lower "price".

If the companion pass holder does not not board the flight, Southwest will ask the companion to get off the flight. If you're not sure you're going to fly you might want to consider a backup plan for your companion.

From https://www.southwest.com/air/flight-schedules/index.html "We are currently accepting air reservations through April 6, 2018. On August 28, 2017 we will open our schedule for sale through June 1, 2018. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently" Based on that, I would suspect a late September or early October extension that would cover June 2018.

Travel funds are not automatically applied to purchases and not tracked anywhere in your account online. It's up to you to track them and apply them to purchases. After selecting your flights online find the "Do you want to apply travel funds?" section of the checkout screen. Put in the confirmation number and passenger name of the canceled reservation and apply. If the same passenger is named on the new flight, the credit will be applied. Travel funds can be used for travel that completes within one year of the original purchase.

You can book, cancel, change, rebook, etc as much as you want with those funds, BUT travel must be completed within one year of your original purchase (the date you origianally booked the flight that the funds came from).

Thanks for the idea. I actually just ended up sharing on twitter and then copying the link from there and sharing on facebook.

In my experience, if passenger asks either a gate agent or a representative at the check-in counter before taking the first flight, they would reroute the passenger if that's an option. Some originating cities might not have another route available. Curious if others here can share their experiences.

Chase Sapphire Preferred points don't have any connection to the Companion Pass. Southwest credit cards are the only ones that generate CP qualifying points.

that was a simple example for illistrative purposes- try this one: boss is in Miami area/multiple airports I am in NY area/multiple airports we need to see a client in Portland and we want to meet someplace for the connection and plan our meeting instead of traveling on seperate nonstops at different times and then havng another hotel night to get our ducks in a row. under the current system we have to check each possible connection/change combinaation by hand- hunting and pecking. what I'd like is to be able to have the system find all the routings that work. is that more clear so you see what I'm after? thanks

It's not based on total points in your account. Have you flown 25 qualifying one-way flights or earned 35,000 tier qualifying points in a calendar year?

Address does not matter, only your name is important. Additionally, if you are flying internationally your whole driver's license is irrelevant, your passport is what matters.

Holiday season flights definetly fill up fast and have a limited number of Wanna Get Away fares. Southwest does occasionally make lower fare buckets available again closer to the date, but it's not likely considering demand for flights is extremely high now and they can sell tickets at higher fares. Sadly, you might be out of luck on those dates, but never hurts to keep checking.

I have heard of other uses accepting immunization documents, but the Southwest website only mentions the birth certificate specifically. I would call the 800 number the day ahead today to add the child to your ticket and mention then what materials you do have.

You're fine if you put them in your checked baggage. Not so sure about carrying them on. I wouldn't take their risk trying to carry them on.

Add EarlyBird Check-in and you can enjoy your trip and not worry about anything. And yes, you can get your boarding pass at the airport.
