Check out the shopping and dining sites attached to Rapid Reward points, look under the earn points category. U can easily accumulate more points towards companion pass by simply shopping at your favorite stores or dining at favorite places. There are incentive bonuses to sign up. These points are on top of credit card points but be careful it may take 6-8 weeks to post. As someone mentioned consider a mini getaway using Southwest hotels but select the locations with bonus points. These points almost post immediately. Good Luck ... View more

Unfortunately, two months ago departing LAS I spoke to the gate agents and explained I need a front row seat. I recently had surgery and am in a full locked leg brace which I have no movement at my knee. I also use a mobility scooter. When it was time to board, 8 wheelchair users stood up from their wheelchairs and rushed down the jet way, while I was stuck behind them. The agent announced “ those in wheelchairs who can get themselves down the jet way, go ahead” . Unfortunately that put me in a position not having a front row seat and I safely boarding with my leg. So in a”perfect”world the disabled are often ignored. By the way the majority of these original 8 wheelchair users did not wait for a wheelchair to deplane. We all know that’s another topic. ...

To help eliminate the “scammers” faking a disability to pre board and use a wheelchair, these passengers should be required to use a wheelchair when flight lands. I have a physical disability and am a person requiring a wheelchair. What makes me upset is to be amongst 15-20 people preboarding with a wheelchair but when it’s time for getting off plane, only 2 or  3 passengers require a wheelchair. Especially when none are available. Often they are the first ones up and off the plane. ... View more

Suggestion if u fall short, consider purchasing gift cards to places you know you will frequent in the next few weeks. This is my strategy, grocery store, gas station, home improvement, drug stores all have gift cards. U know u will be spending money at these places and gift cards allow you to extend the time to reach 3k total. Of course, spend within your means as not to be charged late fees or interest. Good Luck ... View more

I fly approximately once a month with my mobility scooter. I have had damage to my scooter, ALWAYS check your scooter over before you leave the airport and file a complaint if damage has occurred. Southwest works with a world wide repair company , Global. I have always received excellent service, twice given me a replacement scooter on my vacation, once even provided a brand new replacement. This post is not to scare you but make you aware damage does occur and be prepared. On the other hand, the last six flights I have taken, there’s been no damage. Once I was presented my mobility scooter front wheel separate from the unit as I deplaned. The pilot witnessed, went back to retrieve his tools and attached the wheel! My loyalty with flying goes to Southwest!! ... View more
