Can anyone tell me how long after the statement close & points post you can book with the companion pass? We are traveling Jan 29 & Feb 1. I have my flights booked separately with points. Wondering if I'll be able to cancel those & fly either flight on the pass. Thanks!
Once the points post to your RR account (generally 1 day after your cc statement closes), you'll simply go in to SW and you will be able to immediately enter the personal identifiers for your companion (you don't have to wait for anything to come in the mail). You'll then be able to cancel one of the points flights and there will be a link under your name/flight that reads "add companion" that you will be able to click and get the CP flight set up. Obviously, just check to make sure the flight is not sold out prior to canceling the extra points flight. So, if your cc statement closes in early to mid Jan, I find it highly unlikely that you will have any issues setting up the CP for that Jan 29 flight!!
