I had issues all morning getting the calendar to load. At around 9:20 CDT, I was able to book a January flight using the low fare calendar, but this only went out through the end of January. I ended up calling to make reservations by phone for the February flight I wanted to book. The agent said she had heard people were not able to access online, but she was able to access the calendar. Now I know for next time, call to get the unicorn tickets on the holiday week/weekend if they are not showing online.

@BonusQueen assuming domestic travel that does not include Hawaii, your daughter is cleared solo for all phases. My 16 year-old daughter flew alone a week and a half ago and she went through security alone at the departure city and I met her outside of security when I picked her up at the arrival city. I could have gone to the ticket counter to request an "escort pass" before she arrived but I didn't have enough time to do so and to make it to the gate. For reference here are the Southwest pages for Young Travelers and Unaccompanied Minors -- they have very differet treatment. Safe travels for your daughter!!!

Yes! You do not have to keep the points in your account to qualify for the companion pass. You just have to earn the required points in the calendar year. I don't think I have paid for a Southwest ticket for years (thanks to credit card signup bonuses and credit card spending). I also frequently dip below the companion pass level, but again- you just have to earn the points, they do not have to stay in your account. I have spoken to many people who mistakenly believe those 110,000 points are accumulated to "buy" the companion pass.
