Yes, I was referring to five roundtrips. I'm not sure of the ins and outs of the financial side of the Companion Pass, but the flight I take every week and have done so for five years is always 100% booked, since it is kind of a feeder flight to DIA, so it seems the seat taken up by the companion could have been sold. But, as I said, I don't know how ths works out in the end. In any case, I feel the Companion Pass perk is wasted on me, and from a PR perspective, a choice would be nice. Also, it's not about getting more booze, per se. It's about sitting back, listening to music, and having a drink. It makes the weekly flight nicer.

For those who never use Companion Passes, how about an accelerated issuance of Drink Coupons. Perhaps eight issued after every fifth flight, rather than four? If Reward flights are currently excluded, they would continue to be excluded. This would work out to be a lot less expensive for Southwest than Companion Passes. Once one qualifies, they can make a choice for the coming year. If they choose the Companion Pass, they would default to the current four coupons every fifth flight for the coming year. The choice would be binding for the coming year.
