Although I am confident I should be receiving my companion pass within the next following months, should all continue as planned. My question is, will I be able to edit my fall reservations once I get companion pass to my current flights booked? I will be flying with the person I plan to add onto my companion pass in the fall. I am fairly new to all this. Please advise, thank you! Yes, as was said... book your flight normally, and watch for fare moves. If it goes down, rebook and get the discount. If it goes up, and you're worried it'll sell out... lock the seat with Points. I had to do this once. By the time I swapped it to the companion, people had canceled, so it wasn't an issue. But I did get nervous there for a while. I have also called and had Southwest simultaneously cancel the points and add companion if I thought the flight was full to the point where a self-service swap was too risky. I have also been stalking an open seat at T-24 hours to add companion seat, there is usually some movement around that time when people get their reminders and have forgotten to cancel a flight or whatever other reasons. So far it always worked!
